Abstract
- A copper (I) polymer, [Cu<subscript>2</subscript>Mg(pzdc)<subscript>2</subscript>(H<subscript>2</subscript>O)<subscript>5</subscript>•2H<subscript>2</subscript>O]<subscript>n</subscript> (pzdc = 2,3-Pyrazinedicarboxylic acid), was synthesized by solvothermal method. The complex was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (UV-Vis), and element analysis. X-ray crystal structure analysis reveals that the complex is a two-dimensional coordination polymer. The photophysical and luminescent properties of the complex were investigated. At room temperature, the complex exhibits reversible double strands cyclic voltammogram and displays efficient blue emission with peak maxima at 468 nm. Catalytic liquid phase oxidation of dyes and glyphosate was carried out using the copper (I) polymer as catalyst and H<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>2</subscript> as oxidant. Degradation efficiencies were evaluated by varying the reaction conditions (i.e. illumination and oxidant). In the degradation reactions, the polymer exhibits high degradation efficiency within a short reaction time under the optimum reaction conditions. Furthermore, the reusability of the catalyst is excellent, showing no activity loss in four repeated cycles. The possible reaction mechanism catalyzed by the polymer was inferred on the basis of the results of electron spin resonance (ESR), electrochemical and ion chromatography analyses (IC).
