Two new compounds with microporous Co 3 [MnMo 9 O 32 ]·15H 2 O (1) and Cu 3 [MnMo 9 O 32 ]·15H 2 O (2) have been synthesized, and characterized by IR, element analysis, TG and single-crystal X-ray analysis. The structure analyses reveal that compounds 1 and 2 are isostructural. In crystal, the Waugh-type polyoxoanions [MnMo 9 O 32 ] 6-are connected by Co 2+ or Cu 2+ cations to a 3D open-framework, which possesses channels along the [1 2 2] direction of approximately 8.27 × 11.97 Å. The photocatalytic performances of compounds 1 and 2 for photodegradation of RhB with UV irradiation have been studied, which show a good photocatalytic activity for photodegradation of RhB. porous materials, Waugh-type polyoxoanion, single-crystal structure, photocatalysis
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
