Effective detoxification of chemical warfare agents is a global necessity. As a powerful photosensititer, a halogenated BODIPY ligand is postsyrithetically appended to the Zr-6 nodes of the metal organic framework (MOF), NU-1000, to enhance singlet oxygen generation from the MOF. The BODIPY/MOF material is then used as a heterogeneous photocatalyst to produce singlet oxygen under green LED irradiation. The singlet oxygen selectively detoxifies the sulfur mustard simulant, 2-chloroethyl.ethyl sulfide (CEES), to the less toxic sulfoxide derivative (2-chlproethyl ethyl sulfoxide, CEESO) with a half-life of approximately 2 min.
