Two novel thorium-based organic frameworks (Th-IHEP-5 and Th-IHEP-6) were assembled from a hexanuclear thorium cluster, porphyrin derivative ligand and linear carboxylic acid ligands via a mixed-ligand strategy. As a stable heterogeneous catalyst, Th-IHEP-5 exhibited high photocatalytic activity for...
