High-Symmetry Co/Ni Triazine Polycarboxylate Diverse Frameworks Constructed by Mx(COO)y Building Blocks: Characterization and Catalytic Performance Evaluation of p-Nitrophenol

Three new triazine compounds [Co_1.5(H₃TDPAT)(H₂O)₃]·6H₂O (1), [Co₂(TCPT)(μ₂-H₂O)₂]·OH (2), and [Ni₃(TCPT)]·3OH (3) were designed and synthesized via the reaction of the symmetrical triazine ligand connected by C-N-C and C-O-C bonds with triazine poly(carboxylic acid)s ligands as the side arms: H₆TDPAT (H₆TDPAT = 2,4,6-tris(3,5-dicarboxylphenylamino)-1,3,5-triazine) and H₃TCPT (H₃TCPT = 2,4,6-tris(4-carboxyphenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine) as well as the corresponding metal salts under the solvothermal condition. Three triazine polycarboxylate frameworks were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray powder diffraction, and solid fluorescent spectra in detail. The structural analysis results showed that the three-dimensional porous cage framework of compound 1 was constructed by three different polyhedral cages connected with [Co(COO)₄(H₂O)₂] building blocks. One of the compounds, 2, is formed by twin propeller Co₂(μ₂-H₂O)(COO)₃ building blocks connecting two-dimensional layers and the intermolecular π-π interactions involved the triazine rings between the layers. While the structure of compound 3 is similar to that of 2, assembly is by Ni(COO)₃ building blocks and adjacent layers of the face-to-face π-π interaction between the triazine rings. In order to explore functional properties, the catalytic reduction of p-nitrophenol (PNP) of compounds 1-3 was investigated. They exhibit excellent catalytic activity of more than 95% for reduction of PNP with a dose of 2.5 mg of the compounds.
