摘要

Perylenediimide (PDI) materials have gained considerable interest as photocatalysts owing to their exceptional photophysical properties. However, the development of PDI-based photocatalysts remains constrained by several critical limitations, such as rapid charge recombination and aggregation-induced quenching. Here, we report the design and synthesis of a crystalline porous metal-perylenediimide framework (MPF) through the self-assmebly of PDI-based tetracarboxylate ligand (H4PDI) with Ce3+ ions. The resulting Ce-PDI framework features a distinctive double-walled porous structure, stabilized by robust π-π stacking interactions between PDI units. This architecture offers abundant active sites and ample space for substrate-catalyst interactions, while mitigating aggregation-induced quenching of PDI units and facilitating efficient photogenerated charge transfer. Compared to the hydrogen-bonded assembly H4PDI with its dense packing, our double-walled porous Ce-PDI framework demonstrated markedly improved photocatalytic activity and recyclability. Specifically, Ce-PDI achieved catalytic yields of up to 95% for the C-3 formylation of indoles and 97% for the condensation of o-phenylenediamine with aromatic aldehydes, significantly outperforming H4PDI, which only achieved yields of 16%–34%. This work provides a simple and effective approach to overcoming the inherent limitations of PDI-based photocatalysts, thereby advancing their catalytic performance.
