Anionic Porous Zn-Metalated Porphyrin Metal-Organic Framework with PtS Topology for Gas-Phase Photocatalytic CO 2 Reduction.

Presented here are the synthesis and gas-phase photocatalytic CO reduction of an anionic porous Zn-metalated porphyrin metal-organic framework (MOF) induced by an ionic liquid. The desired CO affinity and deep conduction band position of the MOF catalyst provide strong kinetic and thermodynamic advantages for photocatalytic CO to CH conversion with high selectivity (∼70%) in HO vapor.
