AbstractA new Cu(II) metal-organic framework, [Cu(L)(OBA)·H2O]n (1) [H2OBA = 4,4′-oxybis(benzoic acid), L = 3,5-di(1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)pyridine] was hydrothermally synthesized and characterized through IR spectroscopy, elemental and thermal analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 is a four-connected uni-nodal 2D net with a (44·62) topology which shows an emission centered at λ ∼393 nm upon excitation at λ = 245 nm. Moreover, complex 1 possesses high photocatalytic activities for the decomposition of Rhodamine B (RhB) under UV light irradiation.

Bi2O3 nanostructures were synthesized through a simple electrolysis based oxidation using NaOH electrolyte and annealed at 300 °C, 400 °C, 500 °C and 600 °C. The obtained Bi2O3 nanostructures were characterized using X-ray diffraction and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). Bi2O3 crystal structure was confirmed by XRD. When free electron and holes are combined together then emission signals are emitted from PL spectra. With this process, it is studied about the recombination and separation of photo generated holes and electrons. The photocatalytic activities of Bi2O3 films were evaluated for the degradation of Congo red in aqueous solution under UV light irradiation. Among the four samples, Bi2O3 films annealed at 300 °C have better efficiency in removing the congo red dye. For Bi-3, the initial concentration of 10 ppm decreases to 1.11 ppm after 420 min.

AbstractA new metal-organic framework, [Pb(hmpcaH)2]n (1), has been hydrothermally synthesized from Pb(OAc)2 · 3H2O and 2-hydroxy-6-methylpyridine-4-carboxylic acid (hmpcaH2; 2), and characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental and thermogravimetric analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In complex 1, each hmpcaH− ligand represents a three-connected node to combine with the hexacoordinated Pb(II) ions, generating a 3D binodal (3,6)-connected ant network. The crystal structure of 2 was determined. The solid-state fluorescence properties of 1 and 2 were investigated.

<div> <p>Post-synthetic modification (PSM) of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is an important strategy for accessing MOF analogues that cannot be easily synthesized <i>de novo</i>. In this work, the rare-earth (RE) cluster-based MOF, Y-CU-10, with <b>shp</b> topology was modified through transmetallation using a series of RE ions, including: La(III), Nd(III), Eu(III), Tb(III), Er(III), Tm(III), and Yb(III). In all cases, metal-exchange higher than 70 % was observed, with reproducible results. All transmetallated materials were fully characterized and compared to the parent MOF, Y-CU-10, in regards to crystallinity, surface area, and morphology. Additionally, single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) measurements were performed to provide further evidence of transmetallation occurring in the nonanuclear cluster nodes of the MOF. </p> </div>

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have potentially useful applications and an intriguing variety of architectures and topologies. Two homochiral coordination polymers have been synthesized by the hydrothermal method, namely poly[(μ-N-benzyl-L-phenylalaninato-κ4O,O′:O,N)(μ-formato-κ2O:O′)zinc(II)], [Zn(C16H16NO2)(HCOO)]n, (1), and poly[(μ-N-benzyl-L-leucinato-κ4O,O′:O,N)(μ-formato-κ2O:O′)zinc(II)], [Zn(C13H18NO2)(HCOO)]n, (2), and studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analyses, IR spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. Compounds (1) and (2) each have a two-dimensional layer structure, with the benzyl or isobutyl groups of the ligands directed towards the interlayer interface. Photoluminescence investigations show that both (1) and (2) display a strong emission in the blue region.

AbstractBased on 2-(4-carboxyphenyl)imidazo[4,5-f]-1,10-phenanthroline (HNCP) and 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylate (TDC2−) ligands, three new lanthanide-containing (Sm, Nd, and Pr) compounds, [Sm(NCP)(TDC)]n (1), [Nd(NCP)(TDC)]n·2n(H2O)0.5 (2), and [Pr(NCP)(TDC)]n·n(H2O)0.5 (3), have been synthesized using the hydrothermal method and structurally characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Structural analyses have revealed that compounds 1–3 are 3D isostructural metal-organic frameworks in which the [Ln2(COO)4] dimers can be regarded as 6-connecting nodes, and the TDC2− and NCP− ligands are simplified as connectors to achieve the double interspersed 3D networks with the point symbol {412·63}. Thermogravimetric analysis has illustrated that the rigid architecture contributes to superior thermal stability with a thermal decomposition temperature of more than 400°C for the resulting metal-organic frameworks.

Large scale ZnO microflowers assembled by numerous nanosheets are synthesized through a facile and effective hydrothermal route. The structure and morphology of the resultant products are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Photocatalytic properties of the as-synthesized products are also investigated. The results demonstrate that eosin red aqueous solution can be degraded over 97% after 110 min under UV light irradiation. In addition, methyl orange (MO) and Congo red (CR) aqueous solution degradation experiments also are conducted in the same condition, respectively. It showed that nanosheet-assembled ZnO microflowers represent high photocatalytic activities with a degradation efficiency of 91% for CR with 90 min of irradiation and 90% for MO with 60 min of irradiation. The reported ZnO products may be promising candidates as the photocatalysts in waste water treatment.

A novel zinc metal organic frameworks, named ZnL(2,2′-bpy), has been successfully synthesized, serving 3,6-dicarboxylic-9-ethylcarbazole acid (H2L) as ligand. This kind of ZnMOFs was characterized by FI-IR, elemental analysis, SEM, powder X-ray diffraction and single crystal X-ray diffraction to illustrate the structures. TG analysis was applied to investigate the thermostability. Structural analysis demonstrates that ZnMOFs possess triclinic crystal structure which is a 1D chain that occurs distorted-octahedral coordination geometry. Furthermore, the luminescent performance of ZnMOFs is performed and discussed in detail. The results show that ZnMOFs can emit blue luminescence originating, which is assigned to the ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT).
