Photochemistry with Fluorinated Gases Made Practical Using Metal–Organic Frameworks

This work demonstrates that fluorinated gases can be transformed into practical photochemical reagents by storing them inside a robust metal–organic framework. The resulting solid gas–MOF materials enable safe handling, precise dosing, and broad compatibility with photoredox chemistry. Overall, the study establishes a general platform for sustainable and scalable fluoroalkylation using inexpensive gaseous feedstocks.
