  "abstract": "Transient absorption spectroscopy has become an increasingly accessible method for probing the fundamental mechanisms of photocatalytic reaction and has provided important mechanistic insights across a wide range of systems. However, recent studies on metal-organic framework and covalent-organic framework based photocatalysts employ transient absorption primarily as a supplementary characterization technique rather than as a tool for gaining mechanistic insight. This perspective identifies recurring limitations in current practices and outlines strategies for more deliberate application of transient absorption spectroscopy in photocatalysis. By emphasizing clarity in data presentation and interpretation, we aim to elevate transient absorption spectroscopy from a routine characterization tool to a powerful approach for elucidating mechanistic photophysics of framework materials that govern their photocatalytic performance.",
