In this work, a novel metal-organic framework (MOF) and BiVO4 (BVO) composite photocatalyst was successfully synthesized by an in-situ growth method. The characterization of obtained samples was done by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, N2 adsorption, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The photocatalytic performance of ZIF-8@BiVO4 composite was evaluated by the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under simulated visible light irradiation. Compared with the mixture of BVO and ZIF-8, the composite photocatalyst exhibited superior photodegradation efficiency, which could be attributed to the synergistic effect between BVO and ZIF-8. The reduced recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes was considered to be an important reason for the enhancement of photocatalytic performance. This design demonstrates a rational method to improve the photocatalytic performance by combining photocatalysts with MOFs.

We recently discovered that aging a solution of zirconium(IV) tetrachloride (ZrCl<sub>4</sub>) in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) in the presence of water, followed by addition of terephthalic acid linker, reduces the crystallite size of the metal-organic framework UiO-66 [<i>Chem. Commun.</i> <b>2016</b>, <i>52</i>, 6411-6414]. In an effort to shed light into the nature of the aging effect and on its relationship with the crystallite size of UiO-66, we report here the isolation and structural characterization of a microcrystalline zirconium-based compound of formula [ZrCl(OH)<sub>2</sub>(DMF)<sub>2</sub>]Cl, which is formed during the aging process. The Zr(IV) ions are coordinated by hydroxide, DMF and chloride to produce a one-dimensional polymer. Thanks to the presence of two –OH groups per zirconium atom, [ZrCl(OH)<sub>2</sub>(DMF)<sub>2</sub>]Cl is a suitable precursor for the synthesis of UiO-66 in dry DMF, affording a product having smaller crystallite size than that obtained from a reaction mixture having the same chemical composition, but using ZrCl<sub>4</sub> as the Zr(IV) source. By starting from ZrCl<sub>4</sub> and generating [ZrCl(OH)<sub>2</sub>(DMF)<sub>2</sub>]Cl in situ in solution through aging, we obtained smaller crystallites as the aging time increased, proving that [ZrCl(OH)<sub>2</sub>(DMF)<sub>2</sub>]Cl plays a role in the aging process. The possible role of [ZrCl(OH)<sub>2</sub>(DMF)<sub>2</sub>]Cl in the crystallization mechanism of UiO-66 is also discussed.<br>
