Zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks with N-confused porphyrins: Synthesis, structures, and optical properties

Abstract

Metalorganic 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.
