Abstract

A photocatalytic Ru complex was incorporated into a Zr(iv)-based metal-organic framework (MOF) via postsynthetic methods. The resulting UiO-67-Ru(bpy)3 shows efficient and recyclable catalytic activity for the aerobic oxidation of arylboronic acids under near-UV and visible light irradiation.
