Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a diverse and rapidly expanding class of crystalline materials, present many opportunities for various applications. Within this class, the amino-functionalized Zr-MOF, namely, UiO-66-NH2, stands out due to its distinctive chemical and physical properties. In this study, we report on the new unique property where UiO-66-NH2 nanocrystals exhibited enhanced fluorescence upon heating, which was persistently maintained postcooling. To unravel the mechanism, the changes in the fluorescence signal were monitored by steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy, lifetime measurements, and a fluorescence microscope, which revealed that upon heating, multiple mechanisms could be contributing to the observed enhancement; the MOFs can undergo disaggregation, resulting in a fluorescent enhancement of the colloidally stable MOF nanocrystals and/or surface-induced phenomena that result in further fluorescence enhancement. This observed temperature-dependent photophysical behavior has substantial applications. It not only provides pathways for innovations in thermally modulated photonic applications but also underscores the need for a better understanding of the interactions between MOF crystals and their environments.

Abstract
The construction of secondary building units (SBUs) in versatile metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represents a promising method for developing multi-functional materials, especially for improving their sensitizing ability. Herein, we developed a dual small molecules auxiliary strategy to construct a high-nuclear transition-metal-based UiO-architecture Co16-MOF-BDC with visible-light-absorbing capacity. Remarkably, the N3 - molecule in hexadecameric cobalt azide SBU offers novel modification sites to precise bonding of strong visible-light-absorbing chromophores via click reaction. The resulting Bodipy@Co16-MOF-BDC exhibits extremely high performance for oxidative coupling benzylamine (~100 % yield) via both energy and electron transfer processes, which is much superior to that of Co16-MOF-BDC (31.5 %) and Carboxyl @Co16-MOF-BDC (37.5 %). Systematic investigations reveal that the advantages of Bodipy@Co16-MOF-BDC in dual light-absorbing channels, robust bonding between Bodipy/Co16 clusters and efficient electron-hole separation can greatly boost photosynthesis. This work provides an ideal molecular platform for synergy between photosensitizing MOFs and chromophores by constructing high-nuclear transition-metal-based SBUs with surface-modifiable small molecules.

Abstract
Inspired by natural enzymes, this study presents a nickel-based molecular catalyst, [Ni‖(N2S2)]Cl2 (NiN2S2, N2S2=2,11-dithia[3,3](2,6)pyridinophane), for the photochemical catalytic reduction of CO2 under visible light. The catalyst was synthesized and characterized using various techniques, including liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS), UV-Visible spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. The crystallographic analysis revealed a slightly distorted octahedral coordination geometry with a mononuclear Ni2+ cation, two nitrogen atoms and two sulfur atoms. Photocatalytic CO2 reduction experiments were performed in homogeneous conditions using the catalyst in combination with [Ru(bpy)3]Cl2 (bpy=2,2'-bipyridine) as a photosensitizer and 1,3-dimethyl-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (BIH) as a sacrificial electron donor. The catalyst achieved a high selectivity of 89 % towards CO and a remarkable turnover number (TON) of 7991 during 8 h of visible light irradiation under CO2 in the presence of phenol as a co-substrate. The turnover frequency (TOF) in the initial 6 h was 1079 h-1, with an apparent quantum yield (AQY) of 1.08 %. Controlled experiments confirmed the dependency on the catalyst, light, and sacrificial electron donor for the CO2 reduction process. These findings demonstrate this bioinspired nickel molecular catalyst could be effective for fast and efficient photochemical catalytic reduction of CO2 to CO.

Abstract
The limited visible light response is a critical drawback that hampers the photocatalytic efficacy of Ti-MOFs. However, study concerning the enhancement of the visible-light response of Ti-MOFs is still in its nascent stage. In this study, we employ the 'dual-ligand decrystallization strategy' to manipulate the electronic environment of Ti4+, leading to the synthesis of three ester-functionalized bidentate Ti-MOFs with enhanced visible light response. Our findings reveal that this approach not only reduces the bandgap of Ti-MOFs but also enhances their photocatalytic activity for carbon dioxide reduction. Specifically, compared to the bandgap of Ti-BPDC at 2.98 eV, the bandgap of Ti-BPDC-CA 1 : 2 has been reduced to 2.14 eV. Moreover, Ti-BPDC-CA 1 : 2 exhibits extraordinary photocatalytic activity with the formic acid (HCOOH) production rate of 617 μmol g-1 h-1 with over 99.5 % selectivity, which is 3.47 times higher than that of Ti-BPDC. Besides providing a cost-effective strategy for enhancing the visible light response of Ti-MOFs, our study also serves as an illustrative example for establishing the correlation between electronic structure and optical properties.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising platforms for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) due to their fascinating physiochemical properties. Rationally engineering the compositions and structures of MOFs can provide abundant opportunities for their optimization. In recent years, high-entropy materials (HEMs) have demonstrated great potential in the energy and environment fields. However, there is still no report on the development of high-entropy MOFs (HE-MOFs) for photocatalytic HER in aqueous solution. Herein, the authors report the synthesis of a novel p-type HE-MOFs single crystal (HE-MOF-SC) and the corresponding HE-MOFs nanosheets (HE-MOF-NS) capable of realizing visible-light-driven photocatalytic HER. Both HE-MOF-SC and HE-MOF-NS exhibit higher photocatalytic HER activity than all the single-metal MOFs, which are supposed to be ascribed to the interplay between the different metal nodes in the HE-MOFs that enables more efficient charge transfer. Moreover, impressively, the HE-MOF-NS demonstrates much higher photocatalytic activity than the HE-MOF-SC due to its thin thickness and enhanced surface area. At optimum conditions, the rate of H2 evolution on the HE-MOF-NS is ≈13.24 mmol h-1 g-1, which is among the highest values reported for water-stable MOF photocatalysts. This work highlights the importance of developing advanced high-entropy materials toward enhanced photocatalysis.

Abstract
Recentstudies toward finding more efficient ruthenium metalloligands for photocatalysis applications have shown that the derivatives of the linear [Ru(dqp)2]2+ (dqp: 2,6-di(quinolin-8-yl)-pyridine) complexes hold significant promise due to their extended emission lifetime in the μs time scale while retaining comparable redox potential, extinction coefficients, and absorption profile in the visible region to [Ru(bpy)3]2+ (bpy: 2,2'-bipyridine) and [Ru(tpy)2]2+ (tpy: 2,2':6',2″-terpyridine) complexes. Nevertheless, its photostability in aqueous solution needs to be improved for its widespread use in photocatalysis. Carbon-based supports have arisen as potential solutions for improving photostability and photocatalytic activity, yet their effect greatly depends on the interaction of the metal complex with the support. Herein, we present a strategy for obtaining Ru-polypyridyl complexes covalently linked to aminated reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to generate novel materials with long-term photostability and increased photoactivity. Specifically, the hybrid Ru(dqp)@rGO system has shown excellent photostable behavior during 24 h of continual irradiation, with an enhancement of 10 and 15% of photocatalytic dye degradation in comparison with [Ru(dqp)2]2+ and Ru(tpy)@rGO, respectively, as well as remarkable recyclability. The presented strategy corroborates the potential of [Ru(dqp)2]2+ as an interesting photoactive molecule to produce more advantageous light-active materials by covalent attachment onto carbon-based supports.

Abstract
Covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) are emerging as a promising molecular platform for photocatalysis. Nevertheless, the construction of highly effective charge transfer pathways in CTFs for oriented delivery of photoexcited electrons to enhance photocatalytic performance remains highly challenging. Herein, a molecular engineering strategy is presented to achieve highly efficient charge separation and transport in both the lateral and vertical directions for solar-to-formate conversion. Specifically, a large π-delocalized and π-stacked Schottky junction (Ru-Th-CTF/RGO) that synergistically knits a rebuilt extended π-delocalized network of the D-A1 -A2 system (multiple donor or acceptor units, Ru-Th-CTF) with reduced graphene oxide (RGO) is developed. It is verified that the single-site Ru units in Ru-Th-CTF/RGO act as effective secondary electron acceptors in the lateral direction for multistage charge separation/transport. Simultaneously, the π-stacked and covalently bonded graphene is regarded as a hole extraction layer, accelerating the separation/transport of the photogenerated charges in the vertical direction over the Ru-Th-CTF/RGO Schottky junction with full use of photogenerated electrons for the reduction reaction. Thus, the obtained photocatalyst has an excellent CO2 -to-formate conversion rate (≈11050 µmol g-1 h-1 ) and selectivity (≈99%), producing a state-of-the-art catalyst for the heterogeneous conversion of CO2 to formate without an extra photosensitizer.

Abstract
Highly efficient transformation of carbon dioxide (CO2) into value-added chemicals is considered a promising route for clean production and future energy sustainability, which is crucial for realizing a carbon-neutral economy. It remains a great challenge to develop highly stable and active catalysts with low-cost, environmentally friendly, and nontoxic materials for catalytic conversion of CO2. Herein, a precious-metal-free and heterogeneous MOF (LTG-FeZr) catalyst, composed of bis(terpyridine)iron(II) complexes and zirconium(IV) ions, was designed and prepared via a metalloligand approach. LTG-FeZr, with a robust framework and regular 1D channels not only can achieve the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to HCOOH with a high conversion rate (up to 265 μmol·g-1·h-1) under visible-light irradiation but also exhibits exceptional catalytic activities toward the synthesis of cyclic carbonates via cycloaddition reactions of various epoxides and CO2 in the absence of light. Possible mechanisms for two different conversion processes of CO2 catalyzed by LTG-FeZr have been proposed. LTG-FeZr represents an ideal dual-function MOF platform for the catalytic conversion and utilization of CO2 in all weather conditions.

Abstract
ConspectusSolar-driven CO2 reduction into value-added chemicals, such as CO, HCOOH, CH4, and C2+ products, has been regarded as a potential way to alleviate environmental pollution and the energy crisis. In the past decades, numerous pioneered homogeneous catalytic systems composed of soluble photosensitizers (PSs) and catalytic active sites (CASs) have been explored for CO2 photoreduction. Nevertheless, inefficient electron migration based on random collision between CASs and PSs in homogeneous catalytic systems usually causes mediocre performance. Moreover, the relatively poor separation/recycling capability of the homogeneous systems has inevitably reduced their reusability and practicality. The rational combination of PSs and CASs have been proven to play critical roles in the development of highly efficient heterogeneous catalysts to improve their performance, such as anchoring them onto the solid matrixes or connecting them through bridging ligands. However, developing effective assembly strategies to achieve the ordered orientation and uniform heterogenization of PSs and CASs remains a great challenge, mainly due to the lack of crystallinity heterogeneous transformation and structural tailoring ability of traditional solid catalysts. Moreover, due to the lack of assembly and synthesis strategies, many efficient homogeneous photocatalytic systems are still unable to achieve high crystallinity heterogeneous transformation.Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent-organic frameworks (COFs) have recently attracted broad interest toward CO2 photocatalysis because of their diverse precursors, well-defined and tailorable structures, abundant exposed CASs and high surface areas, etc. Especially, the highly ordered orientation and uniform combination of PSs and CASs in MOFs and COFs are beneficial for improved light harvesting and charge separation, greatly helping to address the aforementioned challenges. Moreover, the well-defined crystalline structures of MOFs and COFs facilitate the establishment of the structure-activity relationship. Therefore, it is increasingly important to summarize the integration of PSs and catalysts to provide deep insight into MOF/COF-based photocatalysts.In this Account, we summarize the ordered integration of PSs and CASs in MOFs and COFs for CO2 photoconversion and describe the structure-activity relationships to guide the design of effective catalysts. Given the unique structural features of MOFs and COFs, we have emphasized the integration of PSs and CASs to optimize their photocatalytic performance, including the confinement of catalytic active nanoparticles (NPs) into photosensitizing frameworks, co-coordination of PSs and CASs, and ligand-to-metal charge-transfer and anchoring CASs on the secondary building units of the photosensitizing frameworks. The catalytic activity, selectivity, sacrificial agent, and stability of these systems were then discussed. More importantly, MOFs and COFs provide powerful platforms to understand the key steps for boosting CO2 photoreduction and exploring the catalytic mechanism, involving light harvesting, electron-hole separation/migration, and surface redox reactions. Finally, the perspective and challenge of CO2 photoreduction in MOF/COF platforms are further proposed and discussed. It is expected that this Account would provide deep insight into the integration of PSs and catalysts in COFs and MOFs with well-defined structures and afford significant inspiration toward enhanced performance in heterogeneous catalysis.

Abstract
Despite the desirability of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as heterogeneous photocatalysts, current strategies available to enhance the performance of MOF photocatalysts are complicated and expensive. Herein, a simple strategy is presented for improving the activity of MOF photocatalysts by regulating the atomic interface structure of the metal active sites on the MOF. In this study, MOF (PCN-222) is hybridized with cellulose acetate (CA@PCN-222) through an optimized atomic interface strategy, which lowers the average valence state of Zr ions. The electronic metal-support interaction mechanism of CA@PCN-222 is revealed by evaluating the photocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR). The experimental results suggested that the electron migration efficiency at the atomic interface of the MOFs strongly coupled with cellulose is significantly improved. In particular, the CO2 RR to formate activity of CA@PCN-222 photocatalyst greatly increased from 778.2 to 2816.0 µmol g-1 compared with pristine PCN-222 without cellulose acetate. The findings suggest that the strongly coupled metal-ligand moiety at the atomic interface of MOFs may play a synergistic role in heterogeneous catalysts.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide cycloaddition into fine chemicals is prospective technology to solve energy crisis and environmental issues. However, high temperature and pressure are usually required in the conventional cycloaddition reactions of CO2 with epoxides. Moreover, metal active sites play a vital role in the CO2 cycloaddition, but it is still unclear. Herein, we select the isostructural MOF-919-Cu-Fe and MOF-919-Cu-Al as models to promote the performance and clarify the effects of metal type on the CO2 cycloaddition. The MOF-919-Cu-Fe with exposed Fe and Cu Lewis acid sites reaches the CO2 cycloaddition with over 99.9% conversion and over 99.9% selectivity at room temperature and a 1 bar CO2 atmosphere, 3.0- and 52.6-fold higher than those of the MOF-919-Cu-Al with Al and Cu sites (33.8%) and the 1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid, Fe, and Cu mixed system (1.9%), respectively. The proposed mechanism demonstrated that the exposed Fe3+ sites facilitate the ring opening of epoxide and CO2 activation to boost the CO2 cycloaddition reaction. This work provides a new insight to tune the catalytic sites of MOFs to achieve high performance for CO2 fixation.

Abstract
In the quest for renewable fuel production, the selective conversion of CO2 to CH4 under visible light in water is a leading-edge challenge considering the involvement of kinetically sluggish multiple elementary steps. Herein, 1-pyrenebutyric acid is post-synthetically grafted in a defect-engineered Zr-based metal organic framework by replacing exchangeable formate. Then, methyl viologen is incorporated in the confined space of post-modified MOF to achieve donor-acceptor complex, which acts as an antenna to harvest visible light, and regulates electron transfer to the catalytic center (Zr-oxo cluster) to enable visible-light-driven CO2 reduction reaction. The proximal presence of the charge transfer complex enhances charge transfer kinetics as realized from transient absorption spectroscopy, and the facile electron transfer helps to produce CH4 from CO2. The reported material produces 7.3 mmol g-1 of CH4 under light irradiation in aqueous medium using sacrificial agents. Mechanistic information gleans from electron paramagnetic resonance, in situ diffuse reflectance FT-IR and density functional theory calculation.

Abstract
[Ru(Phen)3]2+ (phen = phenanthroline) as a very classical photosensitizer possesses strong absorption in the visible range and facilitates photoinduced electron transfer, which plays a vital role in regulating photochemical reactions. However, it remains a significant challenge to utilize more adequately and exploit more efficiently the ruthenium-based materials due to the uniqueness, scarcity, and nonrenewal of the noble metal. Here, we integrate the intrinsic advantages of the ruthenium-based photosensitizer and mesoporous metal-organic frameworks (meso-MOFs) into a [Ru(Phen)3]2+ photosensitizer-embedded heterometallic Ni(II)/Ru(II) meso-MOF (LTG-NiRu) via the metalloligand approach. LTG-NiRu, with an extremely robust framework and a large one-dimensional (1D) channel, not only makes ruthenium photosensitizer units anchored in the inner wall of meso-MOF tubes to circumvent the problem of product/catalyst separation and recycling of catalysts in heterogeneous systems but also exhibits exceptional activities for the aerobic photocatalytic oxidative coupling of amine derivatives as a general photocatalyst. The conversion of the light-induced oxidative coupling reaction for various benzylamines is ∼100% in 1 h, and more than 20 chemical products generated by photocatalytic oxidative cycloaddition of N-substituted maleimides and N,N-dimethylaniline can be synthesized easily in the presence of LTG-NiRu upon visible light irradiation. Moreover, recycling experiments demonstrate that LTG-NiRu is an excellent heterogeneous photocatalyst with high stability and excellent reusability. LTG-NiRu represents a great potential photosensitizer-based meso-MOF platform with an efficient aerobic photocatalytic oxidation function that is convenient for gram-scale synthesis.

Abstract
The mechanism of photochemical CO2 reduction to formate by PCN-136, a Zr-based metal-organic framework (MOF) that incorporates light-harvesting nanographene ligands, has been investigated using steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The catalysis was found to proceed via a "photoreactive capture" mechanism, where Zr-based nodes serve to capture CO2 in the form of Zr-bicarbonates, while the nanographene ligands have a dual role of absorbing light and storing one-electron equivalents for catalysis. We also find that the process occurs via a "two-for-one" route, where a single photon initiates a cascade of electron/hydrogen atom transfers from the sacrificial donor to the CO2-bound MOF. The mechanistic findings obtained here illustrate several advantages of MOF-based architectures in molecular photocatalyst engineering and provide insights on ways to achieve high formate selectivity.

Abstract
Effective photocatalytic carbon dioxide (CO2 ) reduction into high-value-added chemicals is promising to mitigate current energy crisis and global warming issues. Finding effective photocatalysts is crucial for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Currently, metal-based semiconductors for photocatalytic CO2 reduction have been well reviewed, while review of nonmetal-based semiconductors is almost limited to carbon nitrides. Phosphorus is a promising nonmetal photocatalysts with various allotropes and tunable band gaps, which has been demonstrated to be promising non-metallic photocatalysts. However, no systematic review about phosphorus structures for photocatalytic CO2 reduction reactions has been reported. Herein, the progresses of phosphorus structures as photocatalysts for CO2 reduction are reviewed. The fundamentals of photocatalytic CO2 reduction, corresponding properties of phosphorus allotropes, photocatalysts with phosphorus doping or phosphorus-containing ligands, research progress of phosphorus allotropes as photocatalysts for CO2 reduction have been reviewed in this paper. The future research and perspective of phosphorus structures for photocatalytic CO2 reduction are also presented.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs, also known as porous coordination polymers or PCPs) are a novel class of crystalline porous material. The tailorable porous structure, in terms of size, geometry and function, has attracted the attention of researchers across all disciplines of materials science. One of the many exciting aspects of MOFs is that through directional and reversible coordination bonding, organic linkers (chromophores with metal-coordinating functional groups) and metal ions (and clusters) can be spatially organized in a preconceived geometry. The well-defined spatial geometry of the metals and linkers is very advantageous for optoelectronic functions (solar cells, light-emitting diodes, photocatalysts) of the materials. This feature article evaluates the scope of charge transfer (CT) interactions in MOFs, involving the organic linkers and metal ion or cluster components. Irrespective of the type (size, shape, electronic property) of organic chromophores involved, MOFs provide an insightful path to design and make the CT process efficient. The selected examples of MOFs with CT characteristics do not only illustrate the design principles but render a pathway towards understanding the complex photophysical processes and implementing those for future optoelectronic and catalytic applications.

Abstract
The discovery and in-depth study of non-biocatalytic applications of active biomolecules are essential for the development of biomimicry. Here, the effect of intermolecular hydrogen-bonding traction on the CO2 photoactivation performance of adenine nucleobase by means of an adenine-containing model system (AMOF-1-4) is uncovered. Remarkably, the hydrogen-bonding schemes around adenines are regularly altered with the increase in the alkyl (methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, and tert-butyl) electron-donating capacity of the coordinated aliphatic carboxylic acids, and thus, lead to a stepwise improvement in CO2 photoreduction activity. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that strong intermolecular hydrogen-bonding traction surrounding adenine can obviously increase the adenine-CO2 interaction energy and, therefore, result in a smoother CO2 activation process. Significantly, this work also provides new inspiration for expanding the application of adenine to more small-molecule catalytic reactions.

Abstract
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs), a class of coordination polymers, gained popularity in the late 1990s with the efforts of Omar Yaghi, Richard Robson, Susumu Kitagawa, and others. The intrinsic porosity of MOFs made them a clear platform for gas storage and separation. Indeed, these applications have dominated the vast literature in MOF synthesis, characterization, and applications. However, even in those early years, there were hints to more advanced applications in light-MOF interactions and catalysis. This perspective focuses on the combination of both light-MOF interactions and catalysis: MOF artificial photosynthetic assemblies. Light absorption, charge transport, H2O oxidation, and CO2 reduction have all been previously observed in MOFs; however, work toward a fully MOF-based approach to artificial photosynthesis remains out of reach. Discussed here are the current limitations with MOF-based approaches: diffusion through the framework, selectivity toward high value products, lack of integrated studies, and stability. These topics provide a roadmap for the future development of fully integrated MOF-based assemblies for artificial photosynthesis.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks incorporating mixed-metal sites (MM-MOFs) have emerged as promising candidates in the development of sensing platforms for the detection of paramagnetic species. In this context, the present study explores the photo-induced switching behavior of mixed-metal Fe-M (M = Co, Ni, Cu) formate (Fe-M(CO2H)4), as an experimentally feasible strategy for the reversible capture of nitric oxide (NO). Using Fe-M(CO2H)4 as a building block of synthesized MOFs based on BTC (benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid), molecular simulations of NO adsorption on Fe-M(CO2H)4 were conducted to provide a template for evaluating the behavior of BTC-based MOFs towards NO. Accordingly, the relationship between the magnetic properties and adsorption behaviors of Fe-M(CO2H)4 towards NO gas molecules was evaluated before and after photoexcitation. We show that the photo-induced effect on the magnetic properties of Fe-M(CO2H)4 changes the interaction strength between NO and the Fe-M(CO2H)4 systems. NO chemisorption over Fe-Ni(CO2H)4 indicates that nickel-doped Fe-BTC MOFs can be efficiently applied for capturing purposes. Moreover, our calculations show a switching behavior between physisorption and chemisorption of the NO molecules over Fe-Co(CO2H)4, occurring through magnetic modulation under UV-Vis irradiation. As far as we know, this is the first study that proposes light-controlled reversible NO capture using MOFs. The present study provides a promising platform for reversible NO capture using MM-MOF-incorporated BTC building blocks.

Abstract
![]()
Formic acid is considered as one of the most promising
liquid organic
hydrogen carriers. Its catalytic dehydrogenation process generally
suffers from low activity, low reaction selectivity, low stability
of the catalysts, and/or the use of noble-metal-based catalysts. Herein
we report a highly selective, efficient, and noble-metal-free photocatalyst
for the dehydrogenation of formic acid. This catalyst, UiO-66(COOH)2-Cu, is built by postmetalation of a carboxylic-functionalized
Zr-MOF with copper. The visible-light-driven photocatalytic dehydrogenation
process through the release of hydrogen and carbon dioxide has been
monitored in real-time viaoperando Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, which revealed almost 100%
selectivity with high stability (over 3 days) and a conversion yield
exceeding 60% (around 5 mmol·gcat–1·h–1) under ambient conditions. These performance
indicators make UiO-66(COOH)2-Cu among the top photocatalysts
for formic acid dehydrogenation. Interestingly, the as-prepared UiO-66(COOH)2-Cu hetero-nanostructure was found to be moderately active
under solar irradiation during an induction phase, whereupon it undergoes
an in-situ restructuring process through intraframework
cross-linking with the formation of the anhydride analogue structure
UiO-66(COO)2-Cu and nanoclustering of highly active and
stable copper sites, as evidenced by the operando studies coupled with steady-state isotopic transient kinetic experiments,
transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
analyses, and Density Functional Theory calculations. Beyond revealing
outstanding catalytic performance for UiO-66(COO)2-Cu,
this work delivers an in-depth understanding of the photocatalytic
reaction mechanism, which involves evolutive behavior of the postmetalated
copper as well as the MOF framework over the reaction. These key findings
pave the way toward the engineering of new and efficient catalysts
for photocatalytic dehydrogenation of formic acid.

Abstract
Recently, metal-organic framework (MOF)-based photocatalysts for an efficient CO2 reduction reaction have drawn wide attention in multidisciplinary fields and sustainable chemistry. In this work, a series of Cu2+-doped two-dimensional Ti-based MOFs were fabricated by a facile in situ solvothermal method. Cu2+ ions were doped in equal proportions and uniformly dispersed in the crystal structure of the MOF matrix. Interestingly, the doping content of Cu2+ ions and the photocatalytic performance displayed an obvious volcanic relationship, the medium-concentration Cu2+-doped sample (T1-2Cu) held the greatest activity with 100% carbonaceous product (CH4 and CO) formation, and the CH4 production rate was 3.7 μmol g-1 h-1 with 93% electron selectivity. The band structure, local electronic structure, carrier separation kinetics, and CO2 adsorption studies demonstrated that the excellent photocatalytic activity of T1-2Cu benefited from the appropriate amount of Cu2+ ion doping: (1) a doping amount of 2 atom % optimized the conduction band position of the MOF substrate and endowed T1-2Cu with strong reduction potential in thermodynamics, (2) doping Cu2+ ions tuned the local electronic environment around titanium oxide clusters and optimized the generation, separation, and migration processes of photoinduced carriers, and (3) the introduction of Cu2+ ions also provided more accessible active sites and more probabilities for the adsorption and activation of CO2 reactants.

Abstract
Mimicking natural photosynthesis to convert CO2 with H2O into value-added fuels achieving overall reaction is a promising way to reduce the atmospheric CO2 level. Casting the catalyst of two or more catalytic sites with rapid electron transfer and interaction may be an effective strategy for coupling photocatalytic CO2 reduction and H2O oxidation. Herein, based on the MOF ∪ COF collaboration, we have carefully designed and synthesized a crystalline hetero-metallic cluster catalyst denoted MCOF-Ti6Cu3 with spatial separation and functional cooperation between oxidative and reductive clusters. It utilizes dynamic covalent bonds between clusters to promote photo-induced charge separation and transfer efficiency, to drive both the photocatalytic oxidative and reductive reactions. MCOF-Ti6Cu3 exhibits fine activity in the conversion of CO2 with water into HCOOH (169.8 μmol g−1h−1). Remarkably, experiments and theoretical calculations reveal that photo-excited electrons are transferred from Ti to Cu, indicating that the Cu cluster is the catalytic reduction center. A crystalline hetero-metallic cluster catalyst based on a covalent organic framework strategy is reported. The catalyst can facilitate both photocatalytic oxidative and reductive reactions leading to efficient production of HCOOH from CO2 and H2O.

Abstract
Photosensitization associated with electron/energy transfer represents the central science of natural photosynthesis. Herein, we proposed a protocol to dramatically improve the sensitizing ability of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) by switching their excited state distribution from 3 MLCT (metal-to-ligand charge transfer) to 3 IL (intraligand). The hierarchical organization of 3 IL MOFs and Co/Cu catalysts facilitates electron transfer for efficient photocatalytic H2 evolution with a yield of 26 844.6 μmol g-1 and CO2 photoreduction with a record HCOOH yield of 4807.6 μmol g-1 among all the MOF photocatalysts. Systematic investigations demonstrate that strong visible-light-absorption, long-lived excited state and ingenious multi-component synergy in the 3 IL MOFs can facilitate both interface and intra-framework electron transfer to boost photocatalysis. This work opens up an avenue to boost solar-energy conversion by engineering sensitizing centers at a molecular level.

Abstract
Molecular architectures offering large cavities can accommodate guest molecules, while their compositional engineering allows tunability of the band gap to support photocatalysis using visible light. In this work, two lanthanide (Ln)-based macrocycles, synthesized using a cobalt-based metalloligand and offering large rectangular cavities, exhibited selective adsorption of neutral dyes over both anionic and cationic dyes. Both Ln macrocycles illustrated complete photodegradation of cationic dyes using visible light without the use of any oxidant. Both Ln macrocycles exhibited complete photodegradation of not only cationic dyes but also a few phenothiazine-based antipsychotic drugs. Photocatalysis involved the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which was corroborated with the band gap of two Ln macrocycles. These results were supported by radical scavenger studies and the quantitative estimation of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals. Complete photodegradation of both dyes and drugs was confirmed by spectral studies, while the generation of CO2 and N2 gases was established by gas chromatography. Importantly, Ln macrocycles were able to distinguish between the neutral dyes that were quantitatively adsorbed and the cationic dyes/drugs that were completely photodegraded.

Abstract
Increase in the global energy demand has been leading to major energy crises in recent years. The use of excess fossil fuels for energy production is causing severe global warming, as well as energy shortage. To overcome the global energy crisis, the design of various chemical structures as efficient models for the generation of renewable energy fuels is very much crucial, and will limit the use of fossil fuels. Current challenges involve the design of Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) materials for this purpose to diminish the energy shortage. The large surface area, tunable pore environment, unique structural property and semiconducting nature of the highly porous MOF materials enhance their potential applications towards the production of enhanced energy fuels. This review is focused on the architecture of MOFs and their composites for fuels and essential chemicals production like hydrogen, methane, ethanol, methanol, acetic acid, and carbon monoxide, which can be used as renewable fuel energy sources to limit the use of fossil fuels, thereby reducing global warming.

The photocatalytic CO2 conversion process resembles natural photosynthesis, which regulates the ecological systems of the earth. Currently, most of the work in this field has been focused on boosting efficiency rather than controlling the distribution of products. The structural architecture of the semiconductor photocatalyst, CO2 photoreduction process, product analysis, and elucidating the CO2 photoreduction mechanism are the key features of the photoreduction of CO2 to generate C1 and C2 based hydrocarbon fuels. The selectivity of C1 and C2 products during the photocatalytic CO2 reduction have been ameliorated by suitable photocatalyst design, co-catalyst, defect states, and the impacts of the surface polarisation state, etc. Monitoring product selectivity allows the establishment of an appropriate strategy to generate a more reduced state of a hydrocarbon, such as CH4 or higher carbon (C2) products. This article concentrates on studies that demonstrate the production of C1 and C2 products during CO2 photoreduction using H2O or H2 as an electron and proton source. Finally, it highlights unresolved difficulties in achieving high selectivity and photoconversion efficiency of CO2 in C1 and C2 products over various nanostructured materials.

Abstract
Combining molecular metal complexes into coordination polymers (CPs) is an effective strategy for developing photocatalysts for CO2 reduction; however, most such reported catalysts are noble metal-containing CPs. Herein, two novel Zr-containing bimetallic CPs, Co-Zr and Ni-Zr, were designed and successfully synthesized by connecting 2,2':6',2″-terpyridine-based molecular earth-abundant metal (Co or Ni) complexes with ZrO8 nodes. Both CPs were applied as catalysts for CO2 photoreduction to selectively produce CO. The catalytic performance of Co-Zr is better than that of Ni-Zr with a yield of 3654 μmol (g of catalyst)-1 for CO in 6 h (TON = 18.2). The difference between these two catalysts was analyzed with respect to band structure and charge migration ability. This work provides an effective way to introduce molecular earth-abundant metal complexes into coordination polymers for the construction of efficient noble metal-free CO2 photocatalysts.

Abstract
Photocatalytic CO2 reduction into formate (HCOO-) has been widely studied with semiconductor and molecule-based systems, but it is rarely investigated with covalent organic frameworks (COFs). Herein, we report a novel donor-acceptor COF named Co-PI-COF composed of isoindigo and metallated porphyrin subunits that exhibits high catalytic efficiency (∼50 μmol formate g-1 h-1) at low-power visible-light irradiation and in the absence of rare metal cocatalysts. Density functional theory calculations and experimental diffuse-reflectance measurements are used to explain the origin of catalytic efficiency and the particularly low band gap (0.56 eV) in this material. The mechanism of photocatalysis is also studied experimentally and is found to involve electron transfer from the sacrificial agent to the excited Co-PI-COF. The observed high-efficiency conversion could be ascribed to the enhanced CO2 adsorption on the coordinatively unsaturated cobalt centers, the narrow band gap, and the efficient transfer of the charge originating from the postsynthetic metallation. It is anticipated that this study will pave the way toward the design of new simple and efficient catalysts for photocatalytic CO2 reduction into useful products.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are as a category of crystalline porous materials. Extensive interest has been devoted to energy storage and energy conversion applications owing to their unique advantages of periodic architecture, high specific surface area, high adsorption, high conductivity, high specific capacitance, and high porosity. One-dimensional (1D) nanostructures have unique surface effects, easily regulated size, good agglutination of the substrate, and other distinct properties amenable to the field of energy storage and conversion. Therefore, 1D nanostructures could further improve the characteristic properties of MOFs, and it is of great importance for practical applications to control the size and morphological characteristics of MOFs. The electrochemical application of 1D MOFs is mainly discussed in this review, including energy storage applications in supercapacitors and batteries and energy conversion applications in catalysis. In addition, various synthesis strategies for 1D MOFs and their architectures are presented.

Abstract
Achieving more than a two-electron photochemical CO2 reduction process using a metal-free system is quite exciting and challenging, as it needs proper channeling of electrons. In the present study, we report the rational design and synthesis of a redox-active conjugated microporous polymer (CMP), TPA-PQ, by assimilating an electron donor, tris(4-ethynylphenyl)amine (TPA), with an acceptor, phenanthraquinone (PQ). The TPA-PQ shows intramolecular charge-transfer (ICT)-assisted catalytic activity for visible-light-driven photoreduction of CO2 to CH4 (yield = 32.2 mmol g-1) with an impressive rate (2.15 mmol h-1 g-1) and high selectivity (>97%). Mechanistic analysis based on experimental results, in situ DRIFTS, and computational studies reveals that the potential of TPA-PQ for catalyzing photoreduction of CO2 to CH4 was energetically driven by photoactivated ICT upon surface adsorption of CO2, wherein adjacent keto groups of PQ unit play a pivotal role. The critical role of ICT for stimulating photocatalysis is further illustrated by synthesizing another redox-active CMP (TEB-PQ), bearing triethynylbenzene (TEB) and PQ, that shows 8-fold lesser activity for photoreduction toward CO2 to CH4 (yield = 4.4 mmol g-1) as compared to TPA-PQ. The results demonstrate a novel concept for CO2 photoreduction to CH4 using an efficient, sustainable, and recyclable metal-free robust organic photocatalyst.

Abstract
Catalysts for photochemical reactions underlie many foundations in our lives, from natural light harvesting to modern energy storage and conversion, including processes such as water photolysis by TiO2. Recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted large interest within the chemical research community, as their structural variety and tunability yield advantages in designing photocatalysts to address energy and environmental challenges. Here, we report a series of novel multivariate metal-organic frameworks (MTV-MOFs), denoted as MTV-MIL-100. They are constructed by linking aromatic carboxylates and AB2OX3 bimetallic clusters, which have ordered atomic arrangements. Synthesized through a solvent-assisted approach, these ordered and multivariate metal clusters offer an opportunity to enhance and fine-tune the electronic structures of the crystalline materials. Moreover, mass transport is improved by taking advantage of the high porosity of the MOF structure. Combining these key advantages, MTV-MIL-100(Ti,Co) exhibits a high photoactivity with a turnover frequency of 113.7 molH2 gcat.-1 min-1, a quantum efficiency of 4.25%, and a space time yield of 4.96 × 10-5 in the photocatalytic hydrolysis of ammonia borane. Bridging the fields of perovskites and MOFs, this work provides a novel platform for the design of highly active photocatalysts.

Abstract
Design, synthesis, and applications of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are among the most salient fields of research in modern inorganic and materials chemistry. As the structure and physical properties of MOFs are mostly dependent on the organic linkers or ligands, the choice of ligand system is of utmost importance in the design of MOFs. One such crucial organic linker/ligand is terpyridine (tpy), which can adopt various coordination modes to generate an enormous number of metal-organic frameworks. These frameworks generally carry physicochemical characteristics induced by the π-electron-rich (basically N-electron-rich moiety) terpyridines. In this minireview, the construction of 3D MOFs associated with symmetrical terpyridines is discussed. These ligands can be easily derivatized at the lateral phenyl (4'-phenyl) position and incorporate additional organic functionalities. These functionalities lead to some different binding modes and form higher dimensional (3D) frameworks. Therefore, these 3D MOFs can carry multiple features along with the characteristics of terpyridines. Some properties of these MOFs, like photophysical, chemical selectivity, photocatalytic degradation, proton conductivity, and magnetism, etc. have also been discussed and correlated with their frameworks.

[PMID: 33360464 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.144101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2020] [Revised: 11/21/2020] [Accepted: 11/22/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising materials and have attracted researchers due to their unique chemical and physical properties-design flexibility, tuneable pore channels, a high surface-to-volume ratio that allow their distinct application in diverse research fields-gas storage, gas separation, catalysis, adsorption, drug delivery, ion exchange, sensing, etc. The rapidly growing CO2 in the atmosphere is a global concern due to the excessive use of fossil fuels in the current era. CO2 is the prime cause of global warming and should be ameliorated either through adsorption or conversion into value-added products to protect the environment and mankind. Nowadays, MOFs are exploited as a photocatalyst for applications of CO2 reduction. Since the use of semiconductors limits the use of visible light for photocatalytic reduction of CO2, MOFs are promising options. The current review describes recent development in the application of MOFs as host, composites, and their derivatives in photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO and different organic chemicals (HCOOH, CH3OH, CH4). Efficient charge separation and visible light absorption by incorporation of active sites for efficient photocatalysis have been discussed. The selection of material for high CO2 uptake and potential strategies for the rational design and development of high-performance catalysts are outlined. Major challenges and future perspectives have also been discussed at the last of the review.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2021; 60:8455-8459. [PMID: 33368920 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202015735] [Citation(s) in RCA: 81] [Impact Index Per Article: 27.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2020] [Revised: 12/17/2020] [Indexed: 11/10/2022]
Abstract
Improving the stability of cuprous oxide (Cu2 O) is imperative to its practical applications in artificial photosynthesis. In this work, Cu2 O nanowires are encapsulated by metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) of Cu3 (BTC)2 (BTC=1,3,5-benzene tricarboxylate) using a surfactant-free method. Such MOFs not only suppress the water vapor-induced corrosion of Cu2 O but also facilitate charge separation and CO2 uptake, thus resulting in a nanocomposite representing 1.9 times improved activity and stability for selective photocatalytic CO2 reduction into CH4 under mild reaction conditions. Furthermore, direct transfer of photogenerated electrons from the conduction band of Cu2 O to the LUMO level of non-excited Cu3 (BTC)2 has been evidenced by time-resolved photoluminescence. This work proposes an effective strategy for CO2 conversion by a synergy of charge separation and CO2 adsorption, leading to the enhanced photocatalytic reaction when MOFs are integrated with metal oxide photocatalyst.
