A photoactive {Ti-16} metal-organic coordination capsule with a cavity length of approximate to 1.4 nm was synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. This {Ti-16} coordination capsule has a much enhanced visible-light absorption band with a narrow band gap of 2.1 eV. In this highly porous crystalline coordination capsule, 2,5-dihydroxybenzoate (DHB) photosensitizers and Ti-oxo cluster units can work cooperatively to promote the photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic performance.
