New Cu(II)-based three dimensional supramolecular coordination polymer as photocatalyst for the degradation of methylene blue

Three-dimensional donor-acceptor conjugated porous polymers based on metal-porphyrin and triazine for highly effective photodegradation of organic pollutants in water

Three-dimensional donor-acceptor (D-A) type conjugated porous polymers (CPPs) was designed and synthesized via imine condensation of copper tetraaminoporphyrin (CuTAPP) as donor and 1,3,5-tris-(4-formyl phenyl) triazine (TFPT) as acceptor, named as CuPT-CPP. The CuPT-CPP possesses a high specific surface area (73.7 m2/g) and excellent photophysical properties. The simultaneous introduction of the organometallic molecules and D-A structures in CuPT-CPP could be broadened the visible-light response range (400-800 nm) and facilitated efficient photogenerated carrier separation and transportation. As heterogeneous photocatalysts, CuPT-CPP has excellent photocatalytic performances under visible light irradiation, leading to excellent model pollutant rhodamine B degradation efficiency up to about 100% in 3 h, it has superb stability and reusability during the photocatalytic processes, and CuPT-CPP also exhibited broad substrate adaptability, which could photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB), methyl orange (MO), and tetracycline hydrochloride (TC). This work indicates that three-dimensional D-A type porphyrin- and triazine-based CuPT-CPP has great potential in the practical application of photocatalysis.

Two Cu(i) coordination polymers based on a new benzimidazolyl-tetrazolyl heterotopic ligand for visible-light-driven photocatalytic dye degradation

Two Cu(i) CPs based on a new heterotopic tripodal ligand were constructed and their visible-light-driven photocatalytic performance were studied.

A four-fold three-dimensional zinc(II) coordination polymer based on 4,4′-bis(2-methyl-imidazolyl)biphenyl and 5-sulfoisophthalate ligands: synthesis, structure and properties

A Zn(II) coordination polymer, [Zn3(4,4′-BMIBP)3(SIP)2] n (1) (4,4′-BMIBP = 4,4′-bis(2-methyl-imidazolyl)biphenyl, H3SIP = 5-sulfoisophthalic acid) was hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. Complex 1 has a (3,4)-connected binodal four-fold three-dimensional topology with a point symbol of {4·62·82·10}2{4·62}2{64·102}. It shows strong fluorescence emission in the solid state and efficient photocatalytic performances to degrade methylene blue (MB) under UV irradiation, the degradation of MB reaching 88% after 50 min.
