Abstract

BODIPY-immobilized zirconium-based nanoscale metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), named UiO-PDT, have been synthesized through solvent-assisted ligand exchange using UiO-typed MOFs and pre-designed BODIPY ligands for the first time. The UiO-PDT nanocrystal has been proved to possess good biocompatibility and highly efficient generation of singlet oxygen, which could kill the cancer cells effectively.
