Combining conjugated polymers with transition-metal-based metal-organic frameworks offers an opportunity to produce efficient photocatalytic materials. Here, exposed active sites and efficient charge transfer lead to hydrogen evolution rates of up to 2438 µmol g−1 h−1 for composites of anisotropic phenanthroline-based ruthenium polymers grafted on titanium-based MOFs.
