Photoactive metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) represent one of the most promising materials for photocatalytic hydrogen production, but phosphonate‐based MOFs have remained largely underdeveloped compared to other conventional MOFs. Herein, a photocatalyst of 1D titanium phosphonate MOF is designed th...
