Facile Synthetic Routes For Photocatalytic Pb-3(Btc)(2)Center Dot H2o Coordination Polymers

Herein, we report on the successful synthesis of photocatalytic Pb-3(BTC)(2)center dot H2O polymers via different methods including the surfactant-assisted hydrothermal method, ultrasonic method and reflux method. As the crystal growth is subjected to preparation atmosphere, changes in reaction conditions do not alter the crystal structures of products, but vary their morphology. High ultraviolet-light-driven photocatalytic abilities are attributed to the stable Pb-3(BTC)(2)center dot H2O, and the effective productions of h(+) and OH on the catalysts.
