Abstract
Lanthanide(III) iodoargentate hybrids [Ln(terpy)(DMSO)5]Ag4I7 (Ln = Sm (1), Eu (2), Tb (3); terpy = 2,2′:6,2″-terpyridine; DMSO = dimethyl sulfoxide) are prepared by solvothermal method using lanthanide(III) complex cations formed in situ as templates. All Ln3+ ions are coordinated by a terpy and five DMSO ligands, forming [Ln(terpy)(DMSO)5]3+ complex cations with bicapped trigonal prismatic geometry. In 1–3, the four AgI4 tetrahedra are connected with each other via edge sharing forming an asymmetric structural unit Ag4I7. Two Ag4I7 units are joined via sharing three I atoms to form the octanuclear isolated anion [Ag8I14]6- with a centrosymmetric structure, which represents a new member of 0D iodoargentate clusters. The iodoargentates 1–3 show strong and durable photocurrent responses with steady current densities in the range of 0.95–1.28 μA·cm−2. They exhibit efficient catalytic activities in the photodegradation of methylene blue with degradation rates of 89.3%, 90.9%, and 96.8%, respectively, after 75 min of light irradiation.
