A strong-alkali resistant zinc–organic framework with 1,3,6,8-tetra(pyridin-4-yl)pyrene for efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

A 3D Zn-MOF was for the first time synthesized from TTPy, and it exhibited excellent alkali-stability and high H 2 production rate (315.06 μmol g −1 h −1 ) in photocatalytic experiments.
