A simple defect engineering approach to systematically tune the band gap of the prototypical zirconium-based metal–organic framework UiO-66 is reported. Defect engineered materials display enhanced photocatalytic activity.

We report a defect-engineering approach to modulate the band gap of zirconium-based metal-organic framework UiO-66, enabled by grafting of a range of amino-functionalised benzoic acids at defective sites. Defect engineered MOFs were obtained by both post-synthetic exchange and modulated synthesis, featuring band gap in the 4.1-3.3 eV range. Ab-initio calculations suggest that shrinking of the band gap is mainly due to an upward shift of the valence band energy, as a result of the presence of light-absorbing monocarboxylates. The photocatalytic properties of defect-engineered MOFs towards CO<sub>2</sub> reduction to CO in the gas phase and degradation of Rhodamine B in water were tested, observing improved activity in both cases, in comparison to a defective UiO-66 bearing formic acid as the defect-compensating species.

<p>We report the first one-dimensional tubular metal-organic framework (MOF) [Ni(Cu-H6TPPA)]∙2DMA (H8TPPA = 5,10,15,20-tetrakis[p-phenylphosphonic acid] porphyrin) in the literature. The structure of this MOF, known as GTUB4, was solved using single crystal X-ray diffraction and its surface area was calculated to be 1102 m2/g, making it the phosphonate MOF with the highest reported surface area. GTUB4 also possesses a narrow indirect band gap of 1.9 eV and a direct band gap of 2.16 eV, making it a semiconducting MOF. Thermogravimetric analysis of GTUB4 suggests that it is thermally stable up to 400°C. Owing to its high surface area, low band gap, and thermal stability, GTUB4 could find applications as electrodes in supercapacitors.<br></p>
