Mechanistic investigation of photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes by a novel zinc coordination polymer.

ABSTRACT: A new coordination polymer {[Zn(TIPA)(seb)_0.5](NO₃)·3.5H₂O} _n (1) (TIPA = tris(4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenyl)amine, seb = sebacic acid) is prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 has a three-dimensional (3D) 2-fold interpenetrating diamondoid network, and can be represented by the Schläfli symbol {3³·4³·5⁴·6⁴·7}. The luminescent, optical, and thermal properties of 1 in the solid state are investigated. Significantly, 1 assists in the photo-degradation of organic dyes in the presence of H₂O₂ and upon irradiation with UV light (λ =
