A diiodo-BODIPY postmodified metal–organic framework for efficient heterogeneous organo-photocatalysis

The organic photosensitizer diiodo-BODIPY has been covalently conjugated into a Zr(IV)-based metal–organic framework with UiO topology via postsynthetic modification, which serves as a highly active and recyclable heterogeneous photocatalyst for aerobic cross dehydrogenative coupling and oxidation/[3 + 2]cycloaddition reactions under visible light irradiation.
