Abstract
A new Cu(I) based boron imidazolate framework, Cu[BH(im)3] (BIF-105, im = imidazole), with a two-dimensional fes-type layer structure was designed and synthesized. The resulting BIF-105 exhibited efficient photocatalytic performance for CO2 reduction with an evolution rate of 933 μmol g−1 h−1 and a selectivity of 83.4% for CO under visible light irradiation, with [Ru(bpy)3]Cl2 as the light absorber and triethanolamine as a sacrificial agent.
