Two novel metal–organic frameworks constructed by pyridinyl-derived and carboxylate mixed ligands for photocatalytic dye degradation

Abstract

A new rigid bipyridinyl-derived ligand has been utilized for the fabrication of two metal-organic frameworks, denoted as [M(L)(mipa)]n [M = Zn (1) and Cd (2), L = 2,6-bis((E)-4-(pyridine-3-yl)benzylidene)cyclohexanone, H2mipa =...

Metal–organic frameworks constructed using acid–base mixed ligands, carboxylic acids and N-containing chalcone, and their catalytic performance for Knoevenagel condensation

“…In addition, in our previous research work, 23–25 by exploiting the mixed-ligand synthetic strategy (Scheme 1), a series of MOFs with fascinating structures and interesting properties were constructed using the organic ligands 2,6-bis(4-pyridylmethylidene)cyclohexanone (BPCH) and 2,6-bis(3-pyridylmethylidene)cyclohexanone (BPMC). 26 The mixed-ligand synthetic strategy, especially in the acid–base system, could compensate for charge balance, coordination deficiency, repulsive vacuum, and weak interaction simultaneously.…”
