“…To date, RuBPY has been incorporated into a wide array of materials such as clays, − zirconium phosphate, − glasses, − and coordination polymers (e.g., zeolites ,− and metal–organic frameworks ,,,− ). For the most part, incorporation within the material has been via intercalation or encapsulation between layers or pores of the materials. ,,,,,, However, there are few examples, of which RuDCBPY-UiO-67 is one, in which modified-RuBPY has been incorporated into the material as a linker or strut, thereby comprising a portion or the whole of the material backbone. ,,,,, …”
