Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>The controlled generation of singlet oxygen is of great interest owing to its potential applications including industrial wastewater treatment, photochemistry, and photodynamic therapy. Two photochromic metal–organic frameworks, PC‐PCN and SO‐PCN, have been developed. A photochromic reaction has been successfully realized in PC‐PCN while maintaining its single crystallinity. In particular, as a solid‐state material which inherently integrates the photochromic switch and photosensitizer, SO‐PCN has demonstrated reversible control of ¹O₂ generation. Additionally, SO‐PCN shows catalytic activity towards photooxidation of 1, 5‐dihydroxynaphthalene.</p> </abstract>
