- Abstract
In this work, a new method to extend the light absorption and improve the photocatalytic activity of metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) with nitrogen‐containing ligand is reported, namely, the protonation of nitrogen. Specifically, a protonated Bi‐based MOF synthesized by a hydrothermal method (Bi‐MMTAA‐H, MMTAA=2‐mercapto‐4‐methyl‐5‐thiazoleacetic acid) displays a wider visible light absorption than Bi‐MMTAA‐R with the same single‐crystal structure, but synthesized by a reflux method. The redshifted light absorption was confirmed to be caused by the protonation of nitrogen in the thiazolyl ring in MMTAA. Moreover, this protonation also facilitates the charge separation and transfer and improves the photocatalytic activity of selective oxidation of α‐terpinene to p‐cymene. Our results provide a new idea for nitrogen‐containing Bi‐based MOFs to extend the light absorption and improve the photocatalytic performance.
