In　the　past　few　years,　metal-organic　frameworks　(MOFs)　have　emerged　as　a　class　of　fascinating　materials　for　photocatalysis.　Herein,　a　new　MOF　formulated　as　[Zn(bpe)(fdc)]center　dot　2DMF　(BUT-206,　bpe　=　1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)　ethylene,　H(2)fdc　=　2,5-furan　dicarboxylic　acid,　DMF　=　N,N-dimethylformamide)　is　reported,　which　was　synthesized　under　solvothermal　conditions　and　applied　for　photocatalytic　degradation　of　dyes　(crystal　violet　and　rhodamine　B).　Noteworthily,　BUT-206　exhibited　high　photocatalytic　activity　toward　the　degradation　of　crystal　violet　without　using　any　photosensitizer　or　cocatalyst　under　UV-irradiation.　The　photocatalytic　degradation　of　crystal　violet　by　BUT-206　was　effective　with　a　degradation　efficiency　of　92.5%　within　120　minutes.　The　effects　of　key　parameters　including　pH,　amount　of　photocatalyst　and　initial　concentration　of　dye　on　the　dye　degradation　processes　were　examined,　and　the　kinetics　of　dye　degradation　was　established　by　the　pseudo-first　order　kinetic　equation.　Furthermore,　BUT-206　showed　good　cyclic　stability　in　photocatalytic　performance　for　up　to　five　regeneration　cycles,　making　it　a　potential　green　catalyst　for　dye　degradation.
