Construction of unprecedented pillar-layered metal organic frameworks via a dual-ligand strategy for dye degradation†
Abstract
A dual-ligand strategy is used to construct two pillar-layered metal organic frameworks (MOFs) with [Zn2(COO)3]+ subunits (SBUs) and [ZnxCo3−x(ethanol)2(COO)4]2+ SBUs, respectively. Remarkably, the Zn/Co mixed compound 2 exhibits excellent and adjustable photocatalytic activity to degrade crystal violet (CV) in water under visible light.
