Impacts of host–guest assembly on the photophysical and photocatalytic properties of heterogenized molecular photosensitizer and catalysts

Abstract

This review focuses on taking porous matrixes as ‘molecular containers’ to tune and regulate photophysical and photocatalytic properties of molecular photosensitizers and/or catalysts for application of solar energy conversion. The...

Co-Encapsulation of Rhenium and Ruthenium Complexes into the Scaffolds of Metal–Organic Framework to Promote CO2 Reduction

“…Hierarchically, co-organizing light-harvesting chromophores and catalytic centres into metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) [13] and crystalline porous materials constituted by metal ions/clusters and organic linkers is a competent way to assemble photosensitizers and catalysts instead of covalently linking them [14]. Additionally, integrating molecular complexes into MOFs supports could maintain homogenous catalytic activity, meanwhile imparting heterogenous stability [9,[13][14][15][16][17][18].…”

Additionally, integrating molecular complexes into MOFs supports could maintain homogenous catalytic activity, meanwhile imparting heterogenous stability [9,[13][14][15][16][17][18]. In our previous works, a universal strategy of "bottle-around-a-ship" was developed to assemble molecular complexes into MOFs' scaffolds through the improper coordination between MOF nodes and/or organic linkers with molecular complexes, concomitantly generating the structural imperfects around these mismatch sites [19][20][21].…”
