Photoactive metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and their derivatives have shown great promise for the degradation of mustard gas and its simulants (e.g., 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide or CEES) by selectively oxidizing these toxic organic sulfides to less toxic sulfoxide products under visible or ultravio...
