Porphyrins are frequently observed in nature and play a vital role in many biological functions, including light-harvesting, oxygen transport, and catalytic transformations. The rigid, robust, and multifunctional features of porphyrins enable the construction of framework compounds such as metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) for use in several important applications. This short review summarizes the types of porphyrin building blocks with varying connectivity, their assembly into framework compounds, and key structural factors governing porphyrin ligand design. Furthermore, we highlight emerging catalytic applications of these porphyrin framework compounds as Lewis acid catalysts, oxidation catalysts, photocatalysts, and electrocatalysts. Together, this review supplies a timely update on porphyrin ligand design and framework compound synthesis and guides the future development of porphyrin framework compounds with diverse functionalities for efficient catalysis.

卟啉在自然界中经常被观察到，并且在许多生物功能中起着至关重要的作用，包括光捕获，氧气转运和催化转化。卟啉具有刚性，坚固和多功能的特点，因此可以构建骨架化合物，例如金属有机骨架（MOF）和共价有机骨架（COF），可用于多种重要应用。这篇简短的综述总结了具有不同连通性的卟啉构件的类型，它们组装成骨架化合物以及支配卟啉配体设计的关键结构因素。此外，我们重点介绍了这些卟啉骨架化合物作为路易斯酸催化剂，氧化催化剂，光催化剂和电催化剂的新兴催化应用。一起，
