- Abstract
Metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising single‐site solid catalysts for organic reactions. However, MOF catalysts suffer from pore size limitation and slow diffusion, which are detrimental for photoreactions. Metal‐organic layers (MOLs) have unique ultrathin 2D monolayer structures and overcome pore size and diffusion limitations. Here, the synthesis of photoactive Zr‐RuBPY MOL based on Zr‐oxo clusters and [Ru(bpy)3]2+‐containing linkers is reported as well as its application in photocatalytic [2+2] cyclizations of enones and Meerwein addition reactions between aryl diazonium salts, styrenes, and nitriles. MOLs in photocatalysis: As an ultrathin 2D material, metal‐organic layers (MOLs) accommodate large reactants and facilitate free diffusion of reactive species involved in photochemical processes. MOLs showed excellent activities for several photoreactions in which MOFs failed to work due to pore size and diffusion limitations.
