Along with the transition from a dinuclear dysprosium cluster to a nonanuclear one, the variable magnetic relaxation with the energy barrier changing from 217.87 K to 9.24 K had been...

The functionalized design of metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) has been rapidly developed in the last 20 years, and its broad applicability has been demonstrated in many fields. MOFs with desired functions can be assembled using predesigned organic linkers with specific metal nodes, which possess the ordered functional sites and open structures. Although a large number of carboxylic acid junctions have been used to construct MOFs, it is still a great challenge to realize their multifunctionality. In particular, there is a relative lack of research on MOFs as direct photocatalysts, which require not only abundant active sites and open structures but also adsorption groups and effective electron−hole separation performance. To this end, MOFs constructed from the carboxylic acid ligands derived from lophine-based derivatives and copper ions were deliberately used as a photocatalyst, and then, their application in dye degradation and aromatic alcohol conversion was investigated. In addition, in combination with the abundant Lewis sites of copper ions and imidazole sites, the material shows not only the adsorption and separation of C 2 series and dyes but also the application of dye degradation and conversion of aromatic alcohols under illumination conditions. The corresponding results fully illustrate that the MOF constructed by using lophine derivatives can be an effective way to prepare photocatalysts. The subsequent research ideas will focus on designing a series of MOFs constructed with multilinked moieties of lophine groups and exploring their application strategies in the field of photocatalysis.

Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) as effective catalysts can contribute to the effective green conversion of CO2. However, more studies have focused on the conversion of epoxides to cyclic carbonate systems, but...

In recent years, advance in novel photosensitive materials is expected to drive the development of next-generation smart devices, especially in the field of high visible light utilization. Limited by synthetic...
