Abstract

Abstract : Interlinking chalcogenolate clusters with flexible organic linker forms 2D coordination polymers that demonstrate effective photocatalytic degradation of organic dye. Abstract : Chalcogenolate clusters Cd6 Ag4 (EPh)16 (DMF)3 (CH3 OH) (E = S, Se) with supertetrahedral structures are isolated. Further interlinking the clusters with organic linker 4, 4′-trimethylenedipiperidine in the stepwise assembly approach forms two-dimensional coordination polymers. The clusters and the coordination polymers show tunable band gaps and efficient photocatalytic activities for the degradation of aqueous dye solution. This study demonstrates the great potential of using chalcogenolate clusters and their coordination polymers in photocatalysis applications.
