Isophthalic acid (IPA), a feedstock linker, has been considered so far to build series of topical metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) of diverse structures with various di-and trivalent metal ions, such as CAU-10(Al), owing to its facile availability, unique connection angle/mode and a wide scope of functional groups attached. Constructing MOFs from IPA and tetravalent metals, typically Group 4 metals, would be of a great interest due to expected higher chemical stability. In particular, titanium-IPA frameworks possessing photoresponse is alluring, in relation to the known challenge of synthesizing new Ti-MOFs. Here, we have synthesized the first Ti-IPA MOF, denoted as MIP-208, via a solvothermal process that efficiently combines the use of preformed Ti 8 oxoclusters and in situ acetylation of 5-NH 2 -IPA linker. MIP-208 has helical chains of cis-connected corner-sharing TiO 6 polyhedra as the inorganic building units, which are interconnected to each other leading to a 3D ultramicroporous framework. Solid-solution mixed linkers strategy was then successfully applied resulting in a series of multivariate MIP-208 structures with tunable chemical environment and sizable porosity. Finally, the excellent thermal and hydrolytic stabilities of MIP-208 allowed its use for the photocatalytic carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) methanation, showing the best result among the pure MOF catalysts. Ruthenium oxide nanoparticles were further photodeposited on MIP-208 forming a highly active and selective composite catalyst, MIP-208@RuO x , to largely improve the photocatalytic performance, which features a notable visible light response, an excellent stability and recycling ability.
