Abstract

Photoresponsive nitric oxide (NO)-releasing materials (NORMs) enable the spatiotemporal delivery of NO to facilitate their potential applications in physiological conditions. Here two novel metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-based photoactive NORMs achieved by the incorporation of prefunctionalized NO donors into the photosensitive Fe-MOFs via a postmodification strategy is reported. The modified Fe-MOFs display superior photoactivity of NO release when exposed to visible light (up to 720 nm). Significantly, the visible-light-driven NO release properties are further corroborated by their efficient antibacterial performance.

Keywords: antibacterial; metal-organic frameworks; nitric oxide; photoinduced electron transfer; visible light.
