Methyl orange (MO) is a main organic water pollutants that has been attracted a lot of attention; it can be degraded under photoirradiation in the presence of H 2 O 2 . Herein, we developed two Cu(I)-based coordination complexes (named H 2 (Cu 4 Br 6 )[(Cu 4 Br 3 )(TTTMB) 2 (H 2 O)] 2 (ZZY-2) and (Cu 5 Br 6 )-(Cu 6 Br 9 )[Cu 3 Br(TTTMB) 2 ] (ZZY-3)), which could degrade the MO dye in the presence of H 2 O 2 with or without photoirradiation (TTTMB = 1,3,5tris(1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene). Three-dimensional (3D) frameworks ZZY-2 and ZZY-3 were based on the molecule cage [Cu 3 (TTTMB) 2 ] with the homochiral (−Cu−Br−Cu−) n triple-stranded helical chain and multinuclear Cu 5 Br 6 and Cu 6 Br 9 units, respectively, which could be obtained via the dissolution−recrystallization structural transformation (DRST) from two-dimensional (2D) network ZZY-1 ([Cu 3 (TTTMB) 2 (H 2 O) 6 Cl 6 ]•2H 2 O). The addition of CuBr 2 and the amount of HCOOH were decisive for the DRST, where the formation of a Cu−N coordination bond between the free 2-positional nitrogen atom and Cu(II) was the initiator for DRST. ZZY-2 and ZZY-3 had superior chemical stability, which could maintain the structures after three cycles of degradation reactions. MO degradation catalyzed by ZZY-2 and ZZY-3 could undergo a Fenton-like reaction to produce the active species •OH in the presence of H 2 O 2 . No requirement of photoirradiation for ZZY-2 and ZZY-3 to degrade MO provided more practical meaning to sewage treatment. Cu(II)-based ZZY-4 was also obtained as ZZY-1 in the presence of HNO 3 , which demonstrated the influence of acid on the structure of nitrogen-based ligands. ZZY-4 has shown no capacity to degrade MO, which indicated that the oxidation of Cu(I) by H 2 O 2 could be the key step to initiate the MO degradation.
