This paper reports the fabrication of a halogen hydrogen-bonded organic framework (XHOF) using Cl⁻ ions as central connection nodes and 7,7,8,8-tetraaminoquinodimethane (TAQ) as organic ligands. The XHOF, denoted as XHOF-TAQ, exhibits high stability due to strong hydrogen bonds. Under light irradiation, XHOF-TAQ efficiently catalyzes the reduction of U(VI) to U(IV) with a capacity of 1708 mg-U g⁻¹-material, demonstrating its potential for uranium immobilization and environmental remediation. This work introduces a new type of crystalline framework material.
