Abstract
Sulfur mustard (HD) poses a serious threat to the security of the society, hence the exploration of efficient catalysts for the degradation of HD is of paramount importance. Photocatalytic oxidation of HD by metallo-covalent organic polymers (M-COPs) under mild conditions demonstrates great potential due to their abundant metal active sites and excellent photoelectric properties. Herein, a metal complex crystal (Cy-Ag-Cy) was prepared by the specific interaction between the biological small molecule cytosine and silver ions, which can react with 1,3,6,8-tetra(4-formylphenyl)pyrene (TFPPy) to construct Ag-COP via Schiff base condensation reaction. The Ag-COP exhibits high oxidative selectivity and favorable degradation efficiency against the sulfur mustard simulant (CEES) with a half-life of 5.5 min under UV lamp irradiation. This work presents a novel strategy for the synthesis of M-COPs and expands their applications as photocatalysts for chemical warfare agent decontamination.
期刊介绍:
Chemical engineering enables the transformation of natural resources and energy into useful products for society. It draws on and applies natural sciences, mathematics and economics, and has developed fundamental engineering science that underpins the discipline.
Chemical Engineering Science (CES) has been publishing papers on the fundamentals of chemical engineering since 1951. CES is the platform where the most significant advances in the discipline have ever since been published. Chemical Engineering Science has accompanied and sustained chemical engineering through its development into the vibrant and broad scientific discipline it is today.
