In this study, we report on a fluorinated photoactive metal–organic framework (MOF), Zn-TFBD, capable of excellent light harvesting ability and higher water-assisted proton conductivity. Upon visible-light irradiation, selective 2,2,2-trifluoroethylation of 4-methoxystyrene was achieved on the heterogeneous photocatalyst, Zn-TFBD. This work has enriched the applications of fluorinated MOFs in the field of water-mediated organic transformations.
