Phosphate anion-induced silver-chalcogenide cluster-based metal organic frameworks as dual-functional catalysts for detoxifying chemical warfare agent simulants.

Two porphyrinic silver-chalcogenide cluster-based MOFs were achieved using a phosphate anionic template strategy, and the highly photoactive organic building modules combined with Lewis acidic silver clusters allow both SCC-MOFs to be used as versatile catalysts for the simultaneous degradation of sulfur mustard and nerve agent simulants.
