Photocatalytic applications of a new 3D Mn(II)-based MOF with mab topology

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.

Sensing and photocatalytic properties of a new 3D Co(ii) coordination polymer based on 1,1′-di(p-carboxybenzyl)-2,2′-biimidazole

One novel 3D interpenetrated Co(ii) CP acts as multi-functional chemosensors in detection of Fe3+, Cr2O72−, CrO42− and nitrofurantoin and is an effective and stable photocatalyst and displays excellent photo-catalytic properties.
