An artificial photosynthesis system is described by X. Wang and co‐workers in their Communication on page 1034 ff. The porous characteristics of a metal–organic framework (MOF), for CO 2 capture, were combined with the catalytic functions of imidazolate groups and cobalt to generate a cobalt‐containing zeolitic imidazolate framework. By cooperating with a ruthenium‐based photosensitizer, this MOF could reduce CO 2 to CO with a catalytic turnover number of about 450 within 2.5 hours under mild reaction conditions.
