The recombination of electron–hole pairs severely detracts from the efficiency of photocatalysts. This issue could be addressed in metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) through optimization of the charge-transfer kinetics via rational design of structures at atomic level. Herein, a pyrazolyl porphyrinic N...
