Regioselective Functionalization of the Mesoporous Metal-Organic Framework, NU-1000, with Photo-Active Tris-(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II).

ABSTRACT: Solvent-assisted ligand incorporation is an excellent method for the post-synthetic functionalization of Zr-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), as carboxylate-derivative functionalities readily coordinate to the Zr₆ nodes by displacing node-based aqua and terminal hydroxo ligands. In this study, a photocatalytically active ruthenium complex Ru^II(bpy)₂(dcbpy), that is, bis-(2,2'-bipyridine)-(4,4'-dicarboxy-2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium, was installed in the mono-protonated (carboxylic acid) form within NU-1000 via SALI. Crystallographic information regarding the siting of the ruthenium complex within the MOF pores is obtained by difference envelope density analysis. The ruthenium-functionalized MOF, termed Ru-NU-1000, shows excellent heterogeneous phot
