Postmodification of a supramolecular organic framework: visible-light-induced recyclable heterogeneous photocatalysis for the reduction of azides to amines

We present the postmodification of a diamondoid 3D supramolecular organic framework (SOF) to append [Ru(BPY)(3)](2+) groups through the formation of a hydrazone bond. The resulting SOF works as an efficient recyclable heterogeneous catalyst for visible-light-induced reduction of aromatic azides to amines.
