Photocatalytic organic reactions, harvesting solar energy to produce high value-added organic chemicals, have attracted increasing attention as a sustainable approach to address the global energy crisis and environmental issues.
This review comprehensively summarizes the advancements in MOF photocatalysts under visible light, covering construction, optimization and application. The existing challenges and future prospects in this area are also discussed.
Efficient photooxidation of amines by visible-light-responsive metal–organic frameworks generating α-aminoalkyl radicals to achieve halogen-atom transfer (XAT) reactions of dehalogenation, hydroalkylation and polyfluoroarylation.
The panorama of the latest developments of the emerging porphyrin-based MOFs for photo(electro)catalytic CO2 reduction is shown.
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) integrate photoactive and catalytic entities within a 3D structure. This review classifies photocatalytic MOFs by photosensitizer and catalyst localization and their roles in artificial photosynthesis.
