  2. Materials with Porous Architectures • Porous materials can be engineered as catalysts • High surface areas • Inorganic Frameworks ca. 100-600 m3/g • Metal-organic Frameworks (MOFs) up to 10 400 m3/g • Maximise framework – substrate interactions • High potential for strategic positioning of active sites within frameworks

  3. Hybrid Synergy with MOFs and Metal Phosphate Materials • PhotocatalyticOxidation of Water • H2Storage and CO2 capture • Gas release mechanisms [Co(II)-(PO3F)]4F[PO2F2]2.H2O MOF-500 - [(Fe3O)4 (SO4)12(BPDC)6 (BPE)6] • MOFs and ZIFS • Hierarchical formation of pores (4 different cavity sizes) • High tunability from organic linkers and metal centres • Potential for functionalization and selectivity control • Metal Phosphate Frameworks • Stabilization of complex anions in open-framework phosphate architectures (M = Mn3+, Fe3+, Co2+, Cu2+) etc. • Potential for fluorine incorporation • Multi-metallic combinations Synergy

  4. Current Status on Photolysis of Water using Porous Framework Materials • Examples that highlight the promise of MOFs as water oxidation photocatalysts include: • A Zr-terephthalate based MOF has been shown to have a quantum efficiency of 3.5%[1] (compared with rutile TiO2 of 8%) • A framework incorporated organometallic iridium species has shown promise forwater oxidation, with heterogeneity allowing for recycling of the catalyst[2] Model of Iridium complex doped into a UiO-67 Framework • With a vast diversity of MOF structures, there is a vast untapped potential for hydrogen generation using MOF photocatalysts [1] C.
