Metal organic framework of lanthanum and perylene ligand was successfully synthesized by solvothermal method. Therefore this study aims to assess the photocatalytic activity of La-PTC metal organic framework, in degradation of methylene blue and methyl under visible light irradiation. The results of the FTIR characterization showed that, MOF La-PTC had a different structure and composition from its precursor (Na4PTC). The MOF La-PTC has a band gap energy value of 2.25 eV and a surface area of 22.2364 m2/g. The SEM-EDS analysis showed an elemental composition of lanthanum, carbon, and oxygen, as 19.9%, 51.8%, and 28.3%, respectively. LMOF La-PTC had good thermal stability up to 376.27 °C. Furthermore, MOF La-PTC was able to adsorb dyes at the optimum degradation efficiency of 22.72%, and 29.70% for MB and MO at the dispersion period of 60 minutes. MOF La- PTC has photo-catalytic activity towards the degradation of methyl orange with the degradation efficienty of 64.26%, in contrast to methylene blue, which do not have this potential under visible light irradiation. The addition of H2O2 to the mixture, caused the increasing of La-PTC photo-catalytic activity from 64.76% to 99.60% for MO and 8.44% to 67.02% for MB. MOF La-PTC degrade methylene blue for four cycles reaction with percent degradation efficiency of 77.61% and three cycles reaction for methyl orange with percent degradation efficiency of 62.57%. Therefore, MOF La-PTC possess the potential of a photo-catalyst material in degrading dyes, under visible light irradiation.
