Isoreticular Expansion and Linker-Enabled Control of Interpenetration in Titanium-Organic Frameworks.

ABSTRACT: Titanium-organic frameworks offer distinctive opportunities in the realm of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) due to the integration of intrinsic photoactivity or redox versatility in porous architectures with ultrahigh stability. Unfortunately, the high polarizing power of Ti⁴⁺ cations makes them prone to hydrolysis, thus preventing the systematic design of these types of frameworks. We illustrate the use of heterobimetallic cluster Ti₂Ca₂ as a persistent building unit compatible with the isoreticular design of titanium frameworks. The MUV-12(X) and MUV-12(Y) series can be all synthesized as single crystals by using linkers of varying functionalization and size for the formation of the nets with tailorable porosity and degree of interpenetration.
