Zirconium metal–organic framework photocatalysis with TEMPO for blue light-powered aerobic sulfoxidation†
Abstract
A zirconium metal–organic framework (MOF), NU-1003, along with TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl), is constructed as a system of cooperative photocatalysis for blue light-powered aerobic sulfoxidation. The incorporation of 4 mol% of TEMPO enhances the hole transfer and thereby aerobic sulfoxidation by NU-1003 photocatalysis, demonstrating the pivotal role of a redox mediator in transforming an established MOF.
