Near-infrared light photocatalysis enabled by a ruthenium complex-integrated metal-organic framework via two-photon absorption.

ABSTRACT: Photocatalysis under UV/visible light irradiation has emerged as one of the green methodologies for solar energy utilization and organic synthesis. These photocatalytic processes are typically initiated by one-photon-absorbing metal complexes or organic dyes. Nevertheless, the intrinsic restrictions of UV/visible light irradiation, such as shallow penetration in reaction solutions, competing absorption by substrates, and limited coverage of the solar spectrum, call for the development of innovative photocatalysts functioning under longer wavelength irradiation. Herein, we report a ruthenium complex containing a metal-organic framework, MOF-Ru1, which can drive diverse organic reactions under 740 nm light irradiation following the two-photon absorption (TPA) process. Various organic transfo
