Strongly visible light-absorbing metal-organic frameworks functionalized by cyclometalated ruthenium(ii) complexes.

ABSTRACT: Four different ruthenium(ii) complexes were incorporated into the metal-organic framework (MOF) UiO-67 using three different synthetic strategies: premade linker synthesis, postsynthetic functionalization, and postsynthetic linker exchange. One of these complexes was of the type (N-N)₃Ru²⁺, and three of the complexes were of the type (N-N)₂(N-C)Ru⁺, where N-N is a bipyridine-type ligand and N-C is a cyclometalated phenylpyridine-type ligand. The resulting materials were characterized by PXRD, SC-XRD (the postsynthetic functionalization MOFs), N₂ sorption, TGA-DSC, SEM, EDS, and UV-Vis spectroscopy, and were digested in base for subsequent ¹H NMR analysis. The absorption profiles of the MOFs that were functionalized with cycl
