ABSTRACT
Reticular frameworks have emerged as versatile platforms for photocatalysis, offering precise control over light harvesting, charge transfer, and surface catalysis through their modular building blocks, ordered porosity, and tunable chemical microenvironments. Despite these advantages, their performance is frequently constrained by a kinetic mismatch between ultrafast charge recombination and the relatively slow turnover of chemical substrates. Adopting a "photon-to-product" perspective, we highlight mechanistic strategies for regulating light absorption, excited-state dynamics, charge separation/extraction, triplet and energy-transfer pathways, and active-site microenvironments. We propose targeted design principles aimed at accelerating the translation of reticular photocatalysts from proof-of-concept studies to quantitative, highly stable systems capable of reaction-specific practicality.
