Synthesis, characterization, and degradation investigation of a novel (1D+2D) coordination polymer

A new compound, {[Co(TPA)(PYIM)(2)(H2O)(2)](MI)(4)}(n)(1)(H(2)TPA = terephthalic acid, PYIM = 2-(3-pyridine) benzimidazole, MI = 2-lmidazolidone) has been urothermal synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR Spectra, the Powder Diffraction and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the (1 D)+(2D hydrogen bonds) pillar the compound 1 into an open 3 D supramolecular framework with a pore along the b axis (approximate dimensions 4.5 x 15 angstrom(2)), which is occupied by free MI molecules. In addition, the catalytic-degradation capacity of compound 1 for methylene blue (MB) was investigated. Supplemental data for this article can be accessed online at 10.1080/24701556.2021.1916760
