Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) represent a new class of materials, and one of their striking features lies in the tunable, designable, and functionalizable nanospace. The nanospace within MOFs allows the designed incorporation of different functionalities for targeted applications, such as gas storage, gas separation, sensing, drug delivery, environmental remediation, heterogeneous catalysis; and it has also provided plenty of opportunities for photocatalysis application. We will discuss a series of strategies to tailor MOFs as photocatalysts for photocatalytic small molecule activation under visible light irradiation including hydrogen production from water and water oxidation coupled carbon dixoide reduction reminiscent of photosynthesis in nature.

The Robert A. Welch Foundation (B-0027) is acknowledged for the financial support of the meeting trip.
