  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Structure and Bonding ((STRUCTURE,volume 157))

Abstract

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently been investigated as a platform for developing single-site photocatalysts and multifunctional photocatalytic assemblies. This chapter aims to summarize the recent progress on photocatalysis with MOFs, including hydrogen evolution, carbon dioxide reduction, and degradation and transformation of organic compounds.
