Abstract: A novel titanium catalyst capable of selective photocatalysis is reported. The selectivity of this catalyst was tailored by using the molecular imprinting of substrate, which "copied" the substrate within the building blocks of this catalyst. Unlike conventional titanium catalysts, where the connection between the structure of catalysts and the selectivity is not straightforward, this novel titanium catalyst demonstrated selective catalysis by relying upon the molecular imprinting of substrate, which regulated access to the catalytic sites of titanium. The proposed integration of titanium catalysts with the molecular imprinting of substrate suggests new opportunities of tailoring selectivity for a broad range of catalytic targets
