Modulator-free synthesis of highly crystalline Fe-soc-C MOF and its high photocatalytic activity
Herein, we have successfully synthesized a modulator-free, microporous, highly crystalline cubic (100) phase of Fe-soc-C MOF <i>via</i> a solvothermal process. This material exhibited a high BET surface area (889 m<sup>2</sup> g<sup>-1</sup>), microporosity, and a low bandgap (2.037 eV). This Fe-MOF showed excellent photocatalytic activity for benzimidazole synthesis and benzylamine coupling reactions under blue light.
