A metal-organic framework with in situ generated low-coordinate binuclear Cu(i) units as a highly effective catalyst for photodriven hydrogen production

Chem Commun (Camb). 2020 Jun 18;56(49):6700-6703. doi: 10.1039/c9cc09589f.

Abstract

Herein, we report a metal-organic framework featuring a binuclear copper unit, showing extraordinarily high catalytic activity (102.8 mmol g-1 h-1) for photodriven hydrogen generation, which is attributed to the synergistic catalytic effect between the two copper ions.
