Photochromic Metal–Organic Frameworks: Reversible Control of Singlet Oxygen Generation
Abstract
The controlled generation of singlet oxygen is of great interest owing to its potential applications including industrial wastewater treatment, photochemistry, and photodynamic therapy. Two photochromic metal–organic frameworks, PC‐PCN and SO‐PCN, have been developed. A photochromic reaction has been successfully realized in PC‐PCN while maintaining its single crystallinity. In particular, as a solid‐state material which inherently integrates the photochromic switch and photosensitizer, SO‐PCN has demonstrated reversible control of 1O2 generation. Additionally, SO‐PCN shows catalytic activity towards photooxidation of 1,5‐dihydroxynaphthalene.
