Optical Pump THz Probe Spectroscopy on Metal-Organic Frameworks

Optical Pump THz Probe (OPTP) Spectroscopy is an outstanding technique to understand photoconductivity in emerging materials. We utilized OPTP to explore the photoconductivity in porous crystalline metal-organic frameworks. The OPTP results agreed with catalytical activity measurements and demonstrate that the catalysis in this material is more determined by photoconductivity than by usual catalytic chemistry.
