Abstract

Periodic mesoporous titanium phosphonate (PMTP-2) monoliths were synthesized by combining autoclaving process and evaporation-induced self-assembly strategy, which was functionalized by ClSO(3)H treatment, acting not only as an ion exchanger with large ion exchange capacity but also as a strong acid catalyst possible for some low-temperature reactions.
