Synergistic impact of nano-supramolecular coordination polymer based on cadmium, ethyl nicotinate and thiocyanate ligands as efficient catalyst to remove harmful elements from wastewater

Abstract

Under ultrasonication, cadmium nitrate tetrahydrates, ethyl nicotinate (EN), and potassium thiocyanate self-assembled to form the nanosized supramolecular coordination polymer (NSCP1) and the crystalline (SCP1) [Cd(EN)2(SCN)2].
