N-doping has significant influence in manipu-lating the properties of TiO2,and this has stimulated the development of N-donor-functionalized titanium-oxo clusters(TOCs)as molecular models to study the struc-ture-property relationship.However,the structural type and photoresponsive application are still limited for such TOCs,especially regarding the high-nuclearity TOCs that contain structure unit of TiO2 for photocatalysis.Herein,we showed the synthesis of a series of high-nuclearity TOCs 1-3 compounds using π-conjugated 1,10-phenan-throline(phen)as chromophore and N-donor functional ligand.Compound 1 features cocrystal structure composed of one[Ti26]2+and half[Ti22]2+,which renders it as the first cocrystallized TOC containing two positively charged species and phen-functionalized TOC showing the highest nuclearity up to 37 Ti centers.By adjusting the synthetic conditions,the individual {Ti22} and(Ti26} clusters can also be isolated as Compounds 2 and 3,respectively.The core structure of {Ti22} is mainly constructed from four lacunary {Ti4} derived from pentagonal {Ti(Ti)5} unit,while {Ti26} is built from four complete {Ti(Ti)5} unit.Notably,a {Ti8O14} structure unit of anatase TiO2 can be identified in {Ti26}.Based on the unique structural features and proper photophysical and photochemical properties of Compounds 1-3,they are applied for photocatalytic sul-foxidation.Owing to the presence of anatase structure unit in {Ti26} and the synergistic effect from {Ti22} and {Ti26},the catalytic performance presents in the order of Com-pound 1>Compound 3>Compound 2.This work pro-vides excellent models to understand the structure-property relationship from the perspective of cocrystal-lization and Ti-O binding model and will further promote the application of TOCs as functional catalysts for organic transformation.
