A 1D silver(I) coordination polymer as luminescent probe for Cu2+ and effective photocatalyst for degradation organic dyes

New Three-Dimensional Supramolecular Framework: Crystal Structure and Photocatalytic Property

In this work, benzimidazole (Hbim) and Cu(II) ions ligands were chosen as building blocks to produce a novel Cu(II) compound (CP) based on {Cu4O}cluster, namely, [Cu4OCl6(Hbim)4]n·n(H2O)·2n(EtOH) (1). The investigation of SCXRD reveals that the CP 1 is a separated 0D structure based on tetrahedral {Cu4O} clusters. Furthermore, this supramolecular frame displayed superior photocatalytic effect on the photodegradation of MB under UV light irradiation.

Silver(I) Coordination Polymers: Photocatalytic Properties and Enhanced Treatment Activity of Haloperidol on Children Tic Disorder by Regulating Neurotransmitter Content

In this article, the characterization, synthesis, as well as the photocatalysis dye degradation performance of two novel silver(I) coordination polymers, namely, [Ag(L)(Hbdc)]_n (1, L = 1,4-Bis(5,6-dimethylbenzimidazol-1-yl)butane, H₂bdc = 1,4-Benzenedicarboxylic acid) and [Ag₂(L)(hip)]_n (2, H₂hip = 5-Hydroxyisophthalic acid), were investigated. Fascinatingly, the photocatalytic performance of Complexes 1 and 2 have been investigated, wherein Complex 2 is considered an excellent photocatalyst for degrading Rhodamine B/methyl violet/methylene blue mixed organic dyes. Furthermore, the treatment activities of Complexes 1 and 2 on Tic disorder (TD) were assessed when used with haloperidol, and biochemical studies were conducted to reveal the mechanism in detail. Initially, the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was carried out to determine the dopamine and high vanillic acid contents in the striatum of the TD animal model. Subsequently, the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was utilized to determine the relative expression of dopamine 1 and 2 receptor.
