De novo synthesis of mesoporous photoactive titanium(iv)-organic frameworks with MIL-100 topology.

ABSTRACT: Most developments in the chemistry and applications of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been made possible thanks to the value of reticular chemistry in guiding the unlimited combination of organic connectors and secondary building units (SBUs) into targeted architectures. However, the development of new titanium-frameworks still remains limited by the difficulties in controlling the formation of persistent Ti-SBUs with predetermined directionality amenable to the isoreticular approach. Here we report the synthesis of a mesoporous Ti-MOF displaying a MIL-100 topology. MIL-100(Ti) combines excellent chemical stability and mesoporosity, intrinsic to this archetypical family of porous materials, with photoactive Ti₃(μ₃-O) metal-oxo clusters. By using high-throughput
