Visible‐Light‐Driven NO Release from Postmodified MOFs via Photoinduced Electron Transfer for Antibacterial Application

Abstract Photoresponsive nitric oxide (NO)‐releasing materials (NORMs) enable the spatiotemporal delivery of NO to facilitate their potential applications in physiological conditions. Here two novel metal–organic frameworks (MOFs)‐based photoactive NORMs achieved by the incorporation of prefunctionalized NO donors into the photosensitive Fe‐MOFs via a postmodification strategy is reported. The modified Fe‐MOFs display superior photoactivity of NO release when exposed to visible light (up to 720 nm). Significantly, the visible‐light‐driven NO release properties are further corroborated by their efficient antibacterial performance.
