Out in @J_A_C_S we show that A-site substitution in heterometallic Ti2M2 clusters induces cluster strain in MOFs, lowering symmetry and enhancing reactivity. Strain boosts LMCT efficiency, Ti(III) photogeneration, and enables superior CO2 methanation rates

Many thanks to @AgEInves , @GVAeducacio and @ERC_Research for supporting this line of research. We’ll keep working to demonstrate the generality of this strategy, based on the Goldschmidt tolerance factor, to modulate function in molecular frameworks
