The ever increasing global demand for energy has stimulated a new wave of research activity on efficient utilization of solar energy. Photocatalysis is a promising pathway in the direct transformation of solar energy to chemical energy and has attracted increasing attention. Metalorganic frameworks (MOFs), which have both of the characteristics of semiconductor and zeolite, have emerged as a new kind of potential photocatalyst. After years of development, MOFs have been used in a variety of photocatalytic applications, such as hydrogen evolution, environmental remediation and organic transformations. Among these various applications, the use of MOFs in photocatalytic organic transformations has become the focus of current research. In this review, we summarized the recent progress towards the application of MOFs in photocatalytic organic transformations including CO2 reduction, redox reactions and some complex lightinduced organic reactions like tandem reaction and CC coupling reaction. New strategies to improve the photocatalytic efficiency of MOFs were illustrated. We also provided a detailed discussion on the development of MOFs as a kind of multifunctional photocatalysts. Finally, the existing problems and the opportunities as well as the challenges of MOFs in this field were also evaluated and anticipated.
