Abstract
Methods for the photocatalytic reduction of alkynes to alkenes with high conversion yields and selectivities using a heterogeneous system that incorporates a cobalt-porphyrin into a metal-organic framework (MOF) are provided. The cobalt-porphyrin-based MOFs carry out the photocatalytic reductions in the presence of a visible-light activated photosensitizer molecule and a sacrificial electron donor.
