A high loading of Mn(II)-metalated porphyrin was achievable in a 2D porphyrin-based Mn-MOF induced by an ionic liquid. The excellent stability, sufficient redox potential, atomically dispersed porphyrin Mn(II) sites, desired...

Highly dense packing of chromophoric linkers is achieved in a novel pyrene-based metal−organic framework (MOF), [Zn(TBAPy) 1/2 (H 2 O) 2 ], induced by an ionic liquid. This MOF displays a quick response to visible-light irradiation (photocurrent density of up to 4.492 μA cm −2 ) and is capable of repetitive on−off photocurrent switching with a large on−off ratio (37.55).

A facile fabrication of porphyrin-integrated MOF nanosheets as efficient photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT) is presented.
