A preformed titanium-oxo carboxylate cluster is adopted as the starting material to judiciously control the MOF growth process to afford single crystals. This synthetic method is useful to obtain highly crystalline titanium MOFs, which has been a daunting challenge in this field. Moreover, PCN-22 demonstrated permanent porosity and photocatalytic activities toward alcohol oxidation.Chemical scienceA single crystalline porphyrinic titanium metal-organic framework.PMC5707486N000141310753DE-AR0000249A-1725DE-AC02-05CH11231.DE-SC0001015Tian JYuan STeat SJZou LQin JFeng DWang KZhang QBosch MChen YPLiu TFDalgarno SJZhou HCfalseA single crystalline porphyrinic titanium metal-organic framework.We successfully assembled the photocatalytic titanium-oxo cluster and photosensitizing porphyrinic linker into a metal-organic framework (MOF), namely PCN-22.
