Herein a versatile synthetic strategy, namely, High Valence Metathesis and Oxidation (HVMO), is developed to synthesize a series of Ti-MOFs with predesigned topologies and structures. The crystallinity of these Ti-MOFs was well maintained throughout, as confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction and gas adsorption measurements. Significantly, there were only a few examples of Ti-MOFs, not to mention a general synthetic strategy for various kinds of Ti-MOFs in the literature. This contribution also illustrates the intriguing potential of Ti-MOF platforms in photocatalysis.Chemical scienceA versatile synthetic route for the preparation of titanium metal-organic frameworks.PMC5954845DE-AR0000249DE-AC02-06CH11357DE-FC36-07G017033A-1725DE-SC0001015Yuan SChen YPZou LLiu TFFordham SFeng DWang XZhou HCWang KfalseA versatile synthetic route for the preparation of titanium metal-organic frameworks.Exploitation of new titanium metal-organic frameworks (Ti-MOFs) with high crystallinity has been attracting great attention due to their vast application potential in photocatalysis.
