Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) provide an attractive platform for designing and synthesizing photoactive hybrid materials for photochemical reactions. We report here the utilization of a new visible-light responsive indium MOF for inducing the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of methacry...
