Abstract
A new three-dimensional Zn(II) complex named [Zn(1,3-BMIB)(TBIP)⋅2H2O][Formula: see text] (1) (containning 1,3-BMIB = 1,3-bis(2-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzene, H2TBIP=5-tert-butyl isophthalic acid) had been prepared by hydrothermal synthesis. Systematic structural characterization, especially the single crystal X-ray diffraction method, discreetly reveal the complex 1 exhibits three-dimensional (3D) framework with CdSO4 topology. The 3D crystrals 1 display solid-state fluorescence behavior at room temperature, indicating the potential of the candidate materials for absorbing and using visible light. The photocatalytic properties of compound 1 were estimated through the model photodecomposition dye pollutants using methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation.
