A zinc porphyrin-based halogen-bonded organic framework with the heavy atom effect as a highly efficient photocatalyst for oxidative coupling of amines

A novel zinc porphyrin-based [N⋯I + ⋯N] halogen-bonded organic framework has high photocatalytic 1 O 2 yields, which results from the heavy atom effect of the I + , and acts as a highly efficient photocatalyst for organic synthesis.
