Abstract:
The role of the coordination solvent in MOFs with photocatalysis can't be ignored. Novel [Ni(PTCA)·sol]-MOFs with a 3D open wavy-layered structure are selected for in-depth study by imitating the internal environment of a chameleon. The results confirm that the coordination solvent can modulate the band structure and the polarity is the key to accelerate the formation of intermediate H*.
