of the photoactive, nontoxic, water-soluble, and air-stable cationic
CORM [Mn(tacn)(CO)3]Br (tacn = 1,4,7-triazacyclononane)
in different inorganic porous matrixes, namely, the metalorganic framework
bio-MOF-1, (NH2(CH3)2)2[Zn8(adeninate)4(BPDC)6]·8DMF·11H2O (BPDC = 4,4′-biphenyldicarboxylate), and the functionalized
mesoporous silicas MCM-41-SO3H and SBA-15-SO3H, is achieved by a cation exchange strategy. The CO release from
these loaded materials, under simulated physiological conditions,
is triggered by visible light. The results show that the silica matrixes,
which are unaltered under physiological conditions, slow the kinetics
of CO release, allowing a more controlled CO supply. In contrast,
bio-MOF-1 instability leads to the complete leaching of the CORM.
Nevertheless, the degradation of the MOF matrix gives rise to an enhanced
CO release rate, which is related to the presence of free adenine
in the solution.
