Abstract
The development of functional coordination polymer with photocatalytic capabilities has gained attention for environmental cleanup and security applications. Here, we reported the synthesis, structural characterization, and photocatalytic activity of a Cd(II) coordination polymer, [Cd(L)(Im)]n (H₂L = 4,4′-{(1,2-phenylenebis(methylene)bis(oxy)}dibenzoic acid and Im = Imidazole) (1), designed for the visible-light-driven degradation and sensing of nitro-aromatic compounds. CP 1 was synthesized hydrothermally using and characterized by single-crystal XRD, FT-IR, UV–Vis spectroscopy, PXRD, and TGA. Photocatalytic studies show that 1 effectively sensing of nitroaromatic compounds such as m-nitrophenol (MNP), sodium p-nitrophenol (SNP), and 4-nitrotoluene (PNT) at ppb levels, following pseudo-first-order kinetics. Mechanistic investigations suggest that superoxide radicals (O₂•-) play a key role in the degradation process. Additionally, recyclability tests confirm the material's stability and reusability. This work highlights the potential of Cd(II)-based coordination polymers as efficient and reusable photocatalysts for environmental and security applications.
期刊介绍:
Inorganica Chimica Acta is an established international forum for all aspects of advanced Inorganic Chemistry. Original papers of high scientific level and interest are published in the form of Articles and Reviews.
Topics covered include:
• chemistry of the main group elements and the d- and f-block metals, including the synthesis, characterization and reactivity of coordination, organometallic, biomimetic, supramolecular coordination compounds, including associated computational studies;
• synthesis, physico-chemical properties, applications of molecule-based nano-scaled clusters and nanomaterials designed using the principles of coordination chemistry, as well as coordination polymers (CPs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), metal-organic polyhedra (MPOs);
• reaction mechanisms and physico-chemical investigations computational studies of metalloenzymes and their models;
• applications of inorganic compounds, metallodrugs and molecule-based materials.
Papers composed primarily of structural reports will typically not be considered for publication.
