Synthesis, crystal structures and photocatalytic properties of two coordination polymers bearing a flexible 1,5-bis(benzimidazolyl)pentane ligand

Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Photocatalytic Properties of a Zinc(II) Coordination Polymer Based on 3‐Hydroxy‐2‐pyridinecarboxylic Acid

“…The possible photocatalytic mechanism for the MB degradation should be well‐known Fenton type mechanism . Under the irradiation of UV/Vis light, photogenerated electron‐hole pairs are generated and subsequently interact with O 2 or H 2 O to give rise to the highly active • OH radicals, which can decompose the dyes (MB) effectively in the photocatalytic process …”

Crystal structure of diaqua-bis(3-carboxy-5-bromoisophthalato-κO)-bis(1-(3-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)propyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-3-ium-κN)nickel(II) bis(3-carboxy-5-bromoisophthalate), C66H54Br4N8NiO18

“…In the last two decades, a large number of supramolecular assemblies using the derivatives of isophthalic acid (H 2 ip) as functional groups have been reported in the literature [4][5][6][7][8]. However it is still anticipated that modifications at the 5-position may afford different supramolecular network in view of their electronic effect.…”

Two-Dimensional Metal-Organic Framework Materials: Synthesis, Structures, Properties and Applications

“…As a representative example, a 2D to 3D parallelly polycatenated MOF [(Ti 3 O)­(iPrO) 8 ] 1.5 [L] 3 [Cu 4 I 4 ] based on tetrahedral Cu 4 I 4 clusters with 1.70 eV band gap displayed better degradation of methylene blue (MB), rhodamine B (RhB), and methyl orange (MO) dyes with efficiencies of 100% in 12 min, 98% in 20 min, and 98% in 28 min, respectively (Figure ) compared to the other 2D MOFs reported therein . Radical scavengers such as isopropyl alcohol for • OH, benzoquinone for O 2 • – and ammonium oxalate/EDTA-2Na for h + were also introduced to prove the involvement of reactive radical species reflected through decrement in photodegradation efficiency. ,− Similarly, a few other 2D MOFs for dye degradation are also reported. − …”
