Porphyrin-based surface-mounted metal-organic frameworks (SURMOFs) were synthesized via liquid-phase epitaxy method, which were assembled into photovoltaic devices to investigate the photoconductivity and power conversion efficiency. Subsequently, the porphyrin-based surface-grafted gel (SURGEL) was synthesized from azido-porphyrin SURMOF by post-synthetic modification. Finally, liquid- and gas -phase diffusion in HKUST-1 SURMOF was investigated with a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM)
