Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have always been the focus of chemists due to their diverse structures, adjustable pore size and high stability since they came into being. In recent years, as one of the most significant applications of MOFs porous materials, photocatalytic organic compounds transformation has made full-grown progress both in the preparation of the catalysts themselves and in the scope of specific applications. Herein, we summarize the research progress of MOFs catalysts for photocatalytic transformations of organic compounds in recent three years. Some outstanding works on the preparation and synthesis strategies of photocatalysts are introduced firstly, including internal optimization and modification of MOFs, POM@MOF composite and core-shell MOF@COF hybrids. The second part is about the application of diverse types of organic reactions, including dual-function organic reactions, catalytic oxidation reactions, comprehensive utilization of CO₂ and degradation of organic pollutants. Besides, the development opportunities and some problems to be solved in this field are proposed.
