We report the design of a bifunctional metal–organic layer (MOL), Hf12-Ru-Co, composed of [Ru(DBB)(bpy)2]2+ [DBB-Ru, DBB=4,4′-di(4-benzoato)-2,2′-bipyridine; bpy=2,2′-bipyridine] connecting ligand as a photosensitizer and Co(dmgH)2(PPA)Cl (PPA-Co, dmgH=dimethylglyoxime; PPA=4-pyridinepropionic acid) on the Hf12 secondary building unit (SBU) as a hydrogen-transfer catalyst. Hf12-Ru-Co efficiently catalyzed acceptorless dehydrogenation of indolines and tetrahydroquinolines to afford indoles and quinolones. We extended this strategy to prepare Hf12-Ru-Co-OTf MOL with a [Ru(DBB)(bpy)2]2+ photosensitizer and Hf12 SBU capped with triflate as strong Lewis acids and PPA-Co as a hydrogen transfer catalyst. With three synergistic active sites, Hf12-Ru-Co-OTf competently catalyzed dehydrogenative tandem transformations of indolines with alkenes or aldehydes to afford 3-alkylindoles and bisindolylmethanes with turnover numbers of up to 500 and 460, respectively, illustrating the potential use of MOLs in constructing novel multifunctional heterogeneous catalysts.
