Herein, we report an iodine-attached Zn(II)-porphyrinic dicarboxylic building block (ZnDTPP-I2-2H, 1) that can be introduced into UiO-66 NMOF via one-pot synthetic approach to generate a new ZnDTPP-I2 doped UiO-66 type… Click to show full abstract
Herein, we report an iodine-attached Zn(II)-porphyrinic dicarboxylic building block (ZnDTPP-I2-2H, 1) that can be introduced into UiO-66 NMOF via one-pot synthetic approach to generate a new ZnDTPP-I2 doped UiO-66 type nano metal-organic framework (NMOF) of ZnDTPP-I2⊂UiO-66 (2). Compared to its homologous iodine-free NMOF of ZnDTPP⊂UiO-66 (4), ZnDTPP-I2⊂UiO-66 (2) with heavy iodine atoms is a more effective nanosized photosensitizer for singlet oxygen generation under physiological conditions. As expected, 2 displayed a high photodynamic therapy efficacy for treatment of liver cancer cells in vitro.
