Abstract

Abstract : A photoactive and highly porous {Ti16 } metal–organic coordination capsule with a cavity length of ∼1.4 nm was synthesized, in which photosensitizers and Ti-oxo cluster units can work cooperatively to promote the photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic performance. Abstract : A photoactive {Ti16 } metal–organic coordination capsule with a cavity length of ∼1.4 nm was synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. This {Ti16 } coordination capsule has a much enhanced visible-light absorption band with a narrow band gap of 2.1 eV. In this highly porous crystalline coordination capsule, 2, 5-dihydroxybenzoate (DHB) photosensitizers and Ti-oxo cluster units can work cooperatively to promote the photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic performance.
