Abstract
A porous hybrid material <bold>C4BTP</bold>–TiO<sub>2</sub> has been prepared by a sol–gel method. When Pt nanoparticles or rhenium complexes are loaded, the hybrids show expandable photocatalytic activities for H<sub>2</sub> evolution from water and CO<sub>2</sub> reduction to CO, respectively.
