Abstract Recently, The metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)MOF, constructing via coordination bond between metal or metal-cluster secondary building units (SBU) and organic building block, have emerged as new porous materials. Various applications including gas storage, catalysis, sensing, separation, drug delivery and electrocatalysis, have been demonstrated with the MOFs due to their regularity, enormous surface area, fine tunability and confined pore size. Photodynamic therapy (PDT), is a tripartite process that requires the simultaneous presence of a photosensitizer (PS), light and molecular oxygen. While each component is individually harmless, each interaction process generates highly cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS). Recently, nanosize porphyrinic MOFs absorbing visible light have been employed as a photosensitizer in PDT applications. In this research, Zr based nanosize porhyrinc MOFs was decorated with complementary chromophore via solvent assisted ligand incorporation (SALI). Modified MOFs exhibit a significant improvement of reactive oxygen generation and PDT performance.
