dc.description.abstractPorphyrin and porphyrin derivatives are widely used in various applications due to their excellent photophysical and electrochemical properties. However, inherent defects (such as instability and self-quenching under physiological conditions) limit its application. To overcome these problems, various carriers have been developed to encapsulate, physically adsorb, or covalently bind porphyrin and porphyrin derivatives, such as micelles, liposomes, carbon nanotubes, inorganic nanoparticles, and polymer nanoparticles. In recent years, the metal-organic framework (MOF) has received more and more attention. Introducing porphyrin molecules into MOF or using porphyrin as an organic linker to construct porphyrin-based MOF can combine the unique functions of porphyrin and MOF and overcome the limitations of porphyrins. The loading of porphyrin in the MOF channel and the modification of porphyrin on the surface of MOF are effective strategies for the synthesis of porphyrin@MOF, enhancing the stability of porphyrin and promote potential applications. In this thesis, metal-TCPP(2,3,5,6- tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)pyrazine), a kind of porphyrin, was used to dope into a known MOF, UiO-66 to study the morphology and catalytic ability of the final product. Also, different BDCs(1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) are used to see the effect of different functional groups. Sulfide converting to sulfoxide and sulfones was chosen as the primary reaction we decided to study as the products are simple and easy to analyze using the NMR spectrum.
