Abstract:
Herein, the synthetic methods for preparation of a novel light-responsive metal-organic framework (MOF) UiO-AZB-F are outlined. Upon irradiation with green light, the framework demonstrates controlled release of chemotherapeutic drug cargo with simultaneous breakdown into low toxicity small molecule components.
