The slow conversion of Fe(Ⅱ)/Fe(III) cycle was largely limited the degradation efficiency of many photo-Fenton systems. Herein, four Fe-MOFs nanorods (namely Fe-TCPP-1, Fe-TCPP-2, Fe-TCPP-3, Fe-TCPP-4) with decreasing length-diameter ratios were synthesized in a household microwave oven, using photosensitizer porphyrin and iron ions with Fenton activity as building blocks. Among them, the Fe-TCPP-3 exhibited high photogenerated electron-hole ( e − - h + ) separation efficiency and largest pore structure , endowing Fe-TCPP-3 with superior photo-Fenton property. In addition, Fe-TCPP-3 based photo-Fenton system was applied to efficiently degrade antibiotic ciprofloxacin (CIP) under neutral condition, due to the continuously generated reactive species ( h + , e − , OH · , O 2 ·– , 1 O 2 ) in Fe-TCPP-3 under visible-light irradiation. With irradiation for 30 min, the degradation efficiency of the system could reach about 73 %, which was about 26-fold towards the system without light irradiation . This study paved a way to modulating the photo-Fenton activity of MOF-based catalysts.
The synthesis of phase-pure metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is of prime importance but remains a significant challenge because of the flexible and diversified coordination modes between metal ions and organic linkers. In this work, we report the synthesis of phase-pure MOFs via a facile seed-mediated approach. For several “accompanying” pairs of Zr–porphyrinic MOFs that are prone to yield mixtures, by fixing all reaction parameters except introducing seed crystals, MOFs in phase-pure forms have been obtained because the stage of MOF nucleation, which generates mixed nuclei, is bypassed. In addition, phase-pure MOF isomers with distinct pore structures have also been prepared through such an approach, revealing its versatility. To the best of our knowledge, this is an initial report on seed-assisted synthesis of phase-pure MOFs.

Recently, the development of multifunctional nanoplatforms for synergistic therapy is highly attractive in cancer treatment. Herein, a cancer cell membrane-coated biomimetic nanoplatform (termed as mPAGT) was designed through a simple and versatile polyphenol-mediated coating strategy for a catalytic cascades-enhanced tumor targeted combination therapy. Porphyrin MOFs (PCN) were selected as a nano-photosensitizer and then an endogenous nitric oxide (NO) donor l -arginine ( l -Arg) was loaded into the framework to obtain PA nanoplatforms; Subsequently, glucose oxidase (GOx) was coated on the surface through the interactions between protein and polyphenol and the purified murine breast cancer cell membrane was further decorated to form the resulting nanoplatforms mPAGT NPs. The prepared nanoplatforms exhibited an excellent drug loading capability (9.59% for l -Arg and 33.75% for GOx) and homologous targeting ability. Meanwhile, the mPAGT NPs could initiated a cascade reaction included GOx catalyzed oxidation of glucose, nano-photosensitizer based 1 O 2 -producing, and ROS-mediated the release of NO, and induce an obvious apoptosis with the highest apoptotic ratio of 86.2%. Moreover, the in vivo experimental results further confirmed that our multifunctional nanoplatforms possessed negligible systemic toxicity and promising potential for the treatment of tumor through the catalytic cascades-enhanced synergistic therapy.
