Description:
Two copper coordination polymers (CPs) [Cu(1,2-BIYB) 2 (AQ-2,6-DA)] n · nH 2 O ( 1 ) and [Cu(1,4-BIYB) 2 (AQ-2,7-DA)] n · 3 n H 2 O ( 2 ) were obtained by reactions of pentahydrate copper sulfate with corresponding sulfonate and imidazole ligand under hydrothermal conditions, respectively [Na 2 AQ-2,7-DA = anthraquinone-2,7-disulfonic acid disodium salt, Na 2 AQ-2,6-DA = anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonic acid disodium salt, 1,4-BIYB = 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene, 1,2-BIYB = 1,2-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene]. CPs 1 and 2 show different structures: CP 1 has a 2D architecture, which is further extended into a 3D supramolecular structure through hydrogen bonding interactions, whereas CP 2 has a 1D architecture, which generates a 3D supramolecular structure via hydrogen bonding and strong π ··· π interaction. Notably, CPs 1 and 2 feature rare examples of CPs based visible-light-driven photocatalysts and reveal good stability toward photocatalysis.
