Abstract

The first 32-membered Cu(II) cluster with a big cubic structure consisting of eight small cubic cores exhibited a high photocatalytic activity for the degradation of rhodamine B (∼99%) dye within 15 min under UV light irradiation, effective electrocatalytic activity for nitrite reduction and strong antiferromagnetic interactions among the Cu(II) centers.
