Three isostructural lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs) were synthesized with uncoordinated N^N site, and the Ru(N^N)3 photosensitizer was introduced via coordination link. These functionalized frameworks showed excellent performance in the photocatalytic oxidation of sulfides with good conversion and high sulfoxide selectivity.
