TITANIUM HETEROMETALLIC METAL-ORGANIC SOLIDS, METHOD FOR OBTAINING THEM AND THEIR USES

The present invention relates to a new family of titanium heterometallic structured metal-organic materials (MOFs) having, among other characteristics, high porosity, stability in an aqueous medium and photocatalytic activity under visible light and UV radiation. The new family of materials has a structural unit that combines tetravalent titanium with multiple combinations of divalent metals with a homogeneous distribution at atomic level in the MOF structure. [0002] The invention also relates to methods for obtaining them with high yields, in addition to their uses in the generation of solar fuels, photoactivated degradation, photoreduction of CO, heterogeneous catalysis, as a component or part of an electronic component and/or as a porous or photoactive coating for controlling pollutants, inter alia.
