ABSTRACT

Two inorganic acids decorating titanium-oxo clusters (PTCs), Ti6O4(OiPr)10(O3P-Phen)2(NO3)2 (PTC-251) and Ti6O4(OiPr)10(O3P-Phen)2(HSO4)2 (PTC-252) (H2O3P-Phen = phenylphosphinic acid) have been synthesized under solvothermal conditions. As a result of the labile coordination sites of the {Ti6P2} unit, nitrite and sulfate adopt different capping mode. Besides, they also present different space packing. The photocatalytic H2 evolution activities of these obtained PTCs have been studied, with sulfate decorating PTC-252 presenting a maximum H2 production rate up to 110.95 μmol·g-1·h-1.
