Abstract

Herein, we report an efficient method to construct cage-based MOF materials with exposed metal active sites for catalysis. By employing Zr₄L₆ (L = embonate) cages as precursors for assembly with N-containing ligands and Co²⁺ ions, a new Zr₄L₆–Co based chain structure (PTC-318) has been generated through two-step reactions. Interestingly, in the absence of a photosensitizer, PTC-318 exhibits notable photocatalytic activity for H₂ evolution under visible-light irradiation.
