Together with the Mascareñas group, we show that porphyrinic zirconium MOFs work as air- and water-compatible photocatalysts under red light.

Gold bipyramids inside NU-1000 nanoMOFs give photothermal heating, SERS and label-free optical readout inside cells.

ZIF-8 grown on magnetic nanocubes gives nanocarriers for magnetic hyperthermia with 98 % drug loading efficiency.

Galvanic replacement confines ultrasmall Au/Ag alloy nanoparticles inside a nanometric titanium MOF.
