Electron Donor Regulation in A-D-A Type Metal–Organic Frameworks for Enhancing Visible-Light Driven Photocatalysis

-A displayed the highest activity for the visible-light driven aerobic oxidation of benzylamines coupling. This work demonstrated that linker engineering of D-A molecular junctions in MOFs by fine-tuning the electronic nature of donor and acceptor units and their connection mode is a promising strategy to develop novel photocatalysts for efficient organic transformation.
