Abstract

We rationally designed and synthesized a series of square pyramid nanocages (M₂₀V₈, M = Fe, Co, Ni) based on M₄-TC4A (H₄TC4A = p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene) polynuclear secondary building units (PSBUs) and vanadate anion units in {5+8} condensation modes. Among them, the Fe₂₀V₈ cage exhibited significant photothermal conversion efficiency (up to 80%) and photothermal catalytic performance for the oxidation desulfurization of thioether.
