A metal–organic framework with in situ generated low-coordinate binuclear Cu(i) units as a highly effective catalyst for photodriven hydrogen production

Abstract

Herein, we report a metal–organic framework featuring a binuclear copper unit, showing extraordinarily high catalytic activity (102.8 mmol g⁻¹ h⁻¹) for photodriven hydrogen generation, which is attributed to the synergistic catalytic effect between the two copper ions.
