Metallacage-crosslinked free-standing supramolecular networks via photo-induced copolymerization for photocatalytic water decontamination.

ABSTRACT: The development of polymer materials for water decontamination makes a significant contribution to environmental protection and public health. Herein, we report the preparation of metallacage-crosslinked free-standing supramolecular networks by photo-induced copolymerization of acrylate metallacages and butyl methacrylate for water decontamination. The integration of metallacages into polymer networks endows the networks good capability for generating singlet oxygen via photosensitization, making them serve as a type of decontamination materials that can effectively eliminate diverse organic pollutants and bacterial contaminants. This study not only provides a mild and effective strategy for the preparation of metallacage-cored supramolecular networks via photo-induced copolymerization but
