Abstract
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising photocatalytic materials for solar energy conversion. However, a fundamental understanding of light harvesting and charge separation (CS) dynamics in MOFs remains underexplored, yet they are key factors that determine the efficiency of photocatalysis. Herein, we report the design and CS dynamics of the Ce-TCPP MOF using ultrafast spectroscopic methods.
