A　series　of　zirconium　polyphenolate-decorated-(metallo)　porphyrin　metalorganic　frameworks　(MOFs),　ZrPP-n　(n　=　1,　2),　featuring　infinite　ZrIV-oxo　chains　linked　via　polyphenolate　groups　on　four　peripheries　of　eclipse-arranged　porphyrin　macrocycles,　are　successfully　constructed　through　a　top-down　process　from　simulation　to　synthesis.　These　are　the　unusual　examples　of　Zr-MOFs　(or　MOFs　in　general)　based　on　phenolic　porphyrins,　instead　of　commonly　known　carboxylate-based　types.　Representative　ZrPP-1　not　only　exhibits　strong　acid　resistance　(pH　=　1,　HCl)　but　also　remains　intact　even　when　immersed　in　saturated　NaOH　solution　(approximate　to　20　m),　an　exceptionally　large　range　of　pH　resistance　among　MOFs.　The　metallation　at　the　porphyrin　core　gives　rise　to　materials　with　enhanced　sorption　and　catalytic　properties.　In　particular,　ZrPP-1-Co,　with　precise　and　uniform　distribution　of　active　centers,　exhibits　not　only　high　CO2　trapping　capability　(approximate　to　90　cm(3)　g(-1)　at　1　atm,　273　K,　among　the　highest　in　Zr-MOFs)　but　also　high　photocatalytic　activity　for　reduction　of　CO2　into　CO　(approximate　to　14　mmol　g(-1)　h(-1))　and　high　selectivity　over　CH4　(＞　96.4%)　without　any　cocatalyst　under　visible-light　irradiation　(　lambda　＞　420　nm).　Given　the　strong　chemical　resistance　under　extreme　alkali　conditions,　these　catalysts　can　be　recycled　without　appreciable　loss　of　activity.　The　possible　mechanism　for　photocatalytic　reduction　of　CO2-to-CO　over　ZrPP-1-Co　is　also　proposed.
