Synthesis of Two Coordination Polymer Photocatalysts and Significant Enhancement of Their Catalytic Photodegradation Activity by Doping with Co 2+ Ions

The coordination polymers (CPs) [Zn 2 (tipm)(1,3‐BDC) 2 ] ( 1 ) and [Co 2 (tipm)(1,3‐BDC) 2 ] · 0.5CH 3 CN ( 2· 0.5CH 3 CN) were synthesized by the reactions of Zn(NO 3 ) 2 or Co(NO 3 ) 2 with tetrakis[4‐(1‐imidazolyl)phenyl]methane (tipm) and benzene‐1,3‐dicarboxylic acid (1,3‐H 2 BDC) under solvot...

Description
Summary:The coordination polymers (CPs) [Zn 2 (tipm)(1,3‐BDC) 2 ] ( 1 ) and [Co 2 (tipm)(1,3‐BDC) 2 ] · 0.5CH 3 CN ( 2· 0.5CH 3 CN) were synthesized by the reactions of Zn(NO 3 ) 2 or Co(NO 3 ) 2 with tetrakis[4‐(1‐imidazolyl)phenyl]methane (tipm) and benzene‐1,3‐dicarboxylic acid (1,3‐H 2 BDC) under solvothermal conditions. Compounds 1 and 2 are isostructural and possess complicated three‐dimensional frameworks with the Schläfli symbol (4 · 7 2 )(6 2 · 7 3 · 12)(4 · 6 2 · 7 3 ). Cobalt ions were incorporated into the Zn‐based CP framework 1 during solvothermal crystallization to yield [Zn (2–2 x ) Co 2 x (tipm)(1,3‐BDC) 2 ] · b H 2 O ( x = 2.4 %, b = 0 for 1a , x = 23 %, b = 1 for 2a· H 2 O). Doped CPs 1a and 2a· H 2 O exhibited greater catalytic photodegradation of the dye rhodamine B (RhB) than the undoped complexes 1 and 2 and many literature examples.
