Zirconium-based Metal–Organic Frameworks with N-Confused Porphyrins: Synthesis, Structures, and Optical Properties

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) composed of zirconium (Zr6) and N-confused porphyrins (NCPs) were synthesized. The cubic structures with ftw topology were determined by powder X-ray diffraction and microscopic analyses. These complexes represent high chemical stability toward various pH ranges and NIR absorption/emission derived from the NCP moieties.
