Uranyl–organic frameworks (UOFs) have recently been the object of many research endeavors due to the unique coordination mode of uranyl ions and their attractive physicochemical properties. Here, a new (3,4)‐connected UOF (U‐IHEP‐4) assembled from uranyl and porphyrin ligand tetrakis(4‐carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (H4TCPP) is reported, which represents the first case of actinide porphyrinic MOFs. Adsorption experiments in DMF solution demonstrated that U‐IHEP‐4 selectively adsorbs positively charged dyes, which is in line with its negatively charged framework and large pore volume ratio (90 %). Remarkably, U‐IHEP‐4 exhibited high catalytic activity for the dehydrogenation of N‐heterocycles to synthesize the corresponding aromatic heterocycles and it can be used as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst.
