NH 2 -mediated indium metal–organic framework as a novel visible-light-driven photocatalyst for reduction of the aqueous Cr(VI)

A simple strategy for fabrication of Pd@MIL-100(Fe) nanocomposite as a visible-light-driven photocatalyst for the treatment of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs)

“…Their unique properties such as structural flexibility and large specific surface area have led to the successful application of MOFs in magnetism, adsorption, sensor devices, drug release, and catalysis [14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. As the historic work made by García et al in 2006, more and more attention has been paid to exploring the MOF materials as a new type of photocatalysts [21][22][23][24].…”

M@MIL-100(Fe) (M = Au, Pd, Pt) nanocomposites fabricated by a facile photodeposition process: Efficient visible-light photocatalysts for redox reactions in water

“…Because of their inherent structural characteristics, such as large surface areas and wellordered porous structures, these materials are used as gas adsorbents, catalyst supports, and catalysts as well as agents for separation and drug delivery [4][5][6][7][8][9]. Currently, a new burgeoning direction in the field of MOFs is their use as photocatalysts [10][11][12]. Since the first report of photocatalytic activity in MOF-5, MOFs have been increasingly used as novel photocatalysts Nano Res.…”

Three coordination compounds of cobalt with organic carboxylic acids and 1,10-phenanthroline as ligands: syntheses, structures and photocatalytic properties

“…Recently, a number of reports on the use of coordination compounds as photocatalysts for the degradation of organic pollutant [1][2][3][4], CO 2 reduction [5][6][7] and Cr(VI) reduction [8,9] have been presented. Being compared with traditional semiconductor photocatalysts like TiO 2 , ZnO, Fe 2 O 3 , CdS, GaP and ZnS, photocatalytic coordination compounds possess several advantages; for example, the well-defined crystalline structures of coordination compounds can help to clarify the structure-property relationships of these solid photocatalysts; their modular nature allows the rational design and fine-tuning of these catalysts at the molecular level; and their intrinsic porosity and high surface area can facilitate fast transport of guest molecules through the open channels, resulting in high photocatalytic reaction efficiencies [1].…”
