Two new inorganic-organic hybrid zinc phosphites and their derived ZnO/ZnS heterostructure for efficient photocatalytic hydrogen production.

ABSTRACT: Two novel inorganic-organic hybrid zinc phosphites, namely, [Zn(1,2-bimb)_0.5(HPO₃)] _n (1) and [Zn(1,4-bmimb)_0.5(HPO₃)] _n (2), (1,2-bimb = 1,2-bis(imidazol-1ylmethyl)benzene; 1,4-bmimb = 1,4-bis((2-methyl-1H-imidazol-1yl)methyl)benzene) were synthesized for the first time by hydrothermal reaction. Compound 1 generates a three-dimensional (3D) pillared-layer structure with a 2-nodal 3,4-connected 3,4T15 topology. While compound 2 exhibits a 2D hybrid zinc phosphite sheet with a 3,4-connected 3,4L83 topology network. Utilizing compound 1 and compound 2 as templates and Na₂S as an etching agent, a series of highly efficient ZnO/ZnS photocatalysts were obtained. The optimized 1-160 sa
