Abstract
. The released Co ions from MOF-74(Co) NPs caused oxidative damage to leaves and induced damage to the acceptor side of photosynthesis system II. Our results indicated that the environmental toxicity of MOF materials was largely regulated by the metal centers. MOF materials with nontoxic metal elements are desirable for future applications.
