Abstract
Highly efficient visible-light-assisted photocatalytic reduction of Cr(<sc>vi</sc>) to Cr(<sc>iii</sc>) from aqueous phase using Zr(<sc>iv</sc>)-porphyrin MOFs, Zr<sub>6</sub>(μ<sub>3</sub>-OH)<sub>8</sub>(OH)<sub>8</sub>(MTCPP)<sub>2</sub>, (PCN-222(M)) (M = H<sub>2</sub>, Zn<sup>II</sup>, Cu<sup>II</sup>, Ni<sup>II</sup>, Co<sup>II</sup>, Fe<sup>III</sup>Cl, and Mn<sup>III</sup>Cl) is presented.
