TL;DR: A highly robust metal-organic framework constructed from Zr6 oxo clusters and Fe(III) porphyrin linkers, PCN-223-Fe was investigated as a heterogeneous catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and showed a high catalytic current upon application of cathodic potentials and achieved high H2O/H2O2 selectivity.

TL;DR: Ruthenium(ii) polypyridyl-doped metal–organic framework sensitized films on TiO2 for photovoltaics reveal that the preparative method of dye doping/incorporation into the MOF is integral to the total solar cell efficiency.

TL;DR: The results suggest the dimensionality in which RET occurs is dependent on the RuDCBPY concentration ranging from one-dimensional at very low concentrations up to three- dimensional at high concentration, and the occupancy of Ru DCBPY within UiO-67-DCBPy is not uniform throughout the crystallites such that RuDC BPY densely populates the outer layers of the MOF at low concentrations.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates a promising way to immobilize large concentrations of electroactive WOCs into a highly robust MOF scaffold and paves the way for future photoelectrochemical water-splitting systems.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate a new strategy for cooperative catalysis and proton abstraction via the incorporation of independent species competent in the desired reactivity into a metal-organic framework (MOF) thin film.
