A unique (4,4,5)-connected 3D zinc (II) metal-organic framework for highly efficient photodegradation of Rhodamine B under UV light

Current trends in the synthesis, characterization and application of metal-organic frameworks

“…8(b) shows the schematic diagram for the photoreduction process. In another study, Yang et al 182 synthesized a zinc-based MOF [Zn 3 (L) 2 (nbta) 2 ] n , (L = 1,4- bis(benzimidazol-1-yl)-2-butene, H 3 nbta = 5-nitro-1,2,3- benzenetricarboxylic acid) for photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B. The results showed optimum performance of the said MOF as a photocatalyst.…”

Mechanistic investigation of photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes by a novel zinc coordination polymer

“…Similarly, [Zn(H 2 biim)(bpy)H 2 O](NO 3 ) 2 , Zn(TPP)(IQNO), Zn(bba) 2 (phen) show analogous performance (where H 2 biim = bis(benzimidazole), bpy = 4,4′-bipyridyl, TPP = tetraphenylporphyrin, IQNO = iso-quinoline N-oxide, bba = 2-benzoylbenzoate and phen = 1,10-phenanthroline). 35 …”
