Incorporation of a [Ru(dcbpy)(bpy)2]2+ photosensitizer and a Pt(dcbpy)Cl2 catalyst into metal–organic frameworks for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from aqueous solution

UIO-67 MOFs functionalized with a [Ru(dcbpy)(bpy)₂]²⁺ photosensitizer and a Pt(dcbpy)Cl₂ catalyst display enhanced photocatalytic activity, due to the facile electron transfer from the Ru- to Pt-centers in the MOFs.
