The crystal structure and photocatalytic properties of a one-dimensional Zinc(II) coordination complex

摘要： [Zn(CPDC)(NO3)2] coordination complex (CP1) was synthesized using 1,2-cyclopentanedicarboxylic acid (CPDC) with Zn(NO3)2·6H2O by solution solvothermal method. The crystal structure of CP1 was characterized by power X-ray diffractograms, thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared Spectroscopy, UV spectrophotometer and fluorescence photometer. On the basis of UV-visible and fluorescence spectroscopy, the strong absorption and photoluminescence properties were found in visible wavelength region. Furthermore, photocatalytic experiments indicated that the coordination complex might possess relatively well-done photocatalytic property and recycling stability towards the degradation of rhodamine B in aqueous solution under visible light irradiation. These results indicated that the prepared CP1 might work as a potential photocatalyst for treating the organic pollutants efficiently.
