Two novel 3D functional CPs based on the flexible 4-(4-carboxylphenylmethylthio)benzoic acid ligand have been successively synthesized. Complex 2 that is composed of Co(II), 4,4′-H 2 cpmb and 1,3-Hbib ligand displays good photo-degradation and adsorption properties for the organic dyes. Two new coordination polymers (CPs) based on transition metals, namely [Ni 2 (4,4′-cpmb) 2 (4,4′-bbibp) 2 (H 2 O) 4 ] n (1) and [Co(4,4′-Hcpmb)(1,3-bib)] n (2) (flexible 4,4′-H 2 cpmb = 4-(4-carboxylphenylmethylthio)benzoic acid, rigid 4,4′-bbibp = 4,4′-bis(benzoimidazo-1-ly)biphenyl and 1,3-Hbib = 1,3-bis(1-imidazo-1-ly)benzoic acid), have been designed and successfully synthesized under solvothermal conditions, which have been characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectra, thermogravimetric (TG) analysis, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that 1 features a 3D supermolecular structure in ABAB mode by H bonds (O⋯H⋯O) with a 2-fold interpenetrating sql topology framework and 2 displays a 3D supermolecular framework by H bonds (O⋯H⋯O) with a rarely fes topology. Moreover, the photo-degradation and dye adsorption properties of CPs 1 – 2 have been investigated. Importantly, 2 shows good photo-degradation and dye adsorption properties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, we have synthesized six new coordination polymers (CPs), namely {[Cu 6 (3,5-bip) 6 (H 2 O) 12 (SO 4) 6 ]·3H 2 O} n (1), [Co(3,5-bip) (H 2 O) 3 (SO 4)] n (2), {[Cu(1,3-bit) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ]·2(NO 3)} n (3), {[Cu 2 (1,3-bit) 2 (1,3-bcbb) 2 ]·4(H 2 O)} n (4), [Cu(4,4′-bibp) (H 2 O) (NO 3) 2 ] n (5), [Cu(4,4′-bibp) (4,4′-Hsbdc)] n (6) via solvothermal methods. The structures of these new CPs have been characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, TG analysis, PXRD and single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Meanwhile, the title CPs are explored for adsorption of organic dyes, i.e., anionic dyes (congo red (CR), and methyl orange (MO)) and cationic dye (methylene blue (MB)) considered extensively as water colorants pollutants. Worth noting, complex 3 can adsorb anionic dyes (CR and MO) quickly; complex 6 shows great performance in CR adsorption. Kinetic study reveals that the adsorption process is performed via pseudo-second-order reaction. The dye removal investigations of complexes 3 and 6 support that ions exchange and H-bonding interactions between CPs and target organic dyes are significant factors, heavily affecting dye adsorption. They have excellent potential in wastewater treatment. The first author and corresponding authors made the greatest contribution to this article, while the other authors contributed similarly.

Three novel Zn(II)-based coordination polymers (Zn-CPs), namely {[Zn(1,3,5-tib) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ·2(NO 3)} n (1), [Zn(1,3,5-tib)(4,4′-saba)] n (2), and {[Zn(1,3-bit)(4,4′-cpmb)]·0.5(1,3-bit)} n (3), have been hydrothermally synthesized and successfully characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction (1,3,5-tib ​= ​1,3,5-tris(1-imidazolyl)benzene), 4,4′-Hsaba ​= ​4-(4-sulfoacid)-benzoic acid, 1,3-bit ​= ​1,3-bis(l-imidazoly)toluene, and 4,4′-H 2 cpmb ​= ​4-(4-carboxylphenylmethylthio)benzoic acid). Structural analysis reveals that complex 1 manifests a 2D planar structure with an unprecedented (2,4)-c topological network. Complex 2 and complex 3 display a 3-c fes and 6-fold classical Ia interpenetrated dia framework with 4-c (66) sqc6 topology framework, respectively. Among the three complexes, CPs 1 and 2 demonstrate excellent performance for Azo organic dyes' adsorption, for which the selectivity and kinetics have been comprehensively studied. CPs 3 shows great luminescent intensity in aqueous solution. It is further applied as a fluorescence sensor to detect Fe3+ cation, Cr 2 O 7 2− anion, and tetracycline antibiotic. Three Zn(II) coordination polymers (Zn-CPs), {[Zn(1,3,5-tib) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ·2(NO 3)} n (1), [Zn(1,3,5-tib)(4,4′-saba)] n (2), and {[Zn(1,3-bit)(4,4′-cpmb)]·0.5(1,3-bit)} n (3), have been hydrothermally prepared. While 1 – 2 could be applied as a CR dye adsorbent, and 3 could be as a potential sensing material for detection of Fe3+, Cr 2 O 7 2−, and TC.

Abstract Two metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) {[Zn(L 1)]·2DMA·H 2 O} n (1) and {[Zn(L 2)]·2DMA·H 2 O} n (2) (H 4 L 1 /H 4 L 2 = 5,5'-(1,4/3-xylylenediamino) diisophthalic acid) were synthesized under solvothermal conditions and structurally characterized. Both of the crystals are isomorphs and featuring the dia topological 3D interpenetrated framework, and constructed with Zn(II) cations and two isometric aromatic tetracarboxylate ligands, respectively. The optical adsorption and diffuse-reflection spectrum show that the two crystals could be the potential UV photocatalytic materials, and photocatalytic studies exhibit great degradation activity of three organic dyes (methylene blue (MB), Rhodamine B (RhB) and Methyl orange (MO)). Graphical abstract Two dia isomorphic Zn-MOFs are synthesized based on two isomeric semi-rigid aromatic tetracarboxylate acids. The study of optical property and photocatalysis property of 1 and 2 indicates both are good candidates for the photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B, Methylene Blue and Methyl Orange.
