ABSTRACT
A nanoparticle of cobalt(II) coordination polymer (CP), [Co(L)(npht)]n (1) (H2npht=4-nitrophthalic acid, L=1,3-bis(5,6-dimethylbenzimidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene) and its nanocomposite (Ag/CP 1) were obtained by the sonochemical approach and characterized by IR, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analyses (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD). CP 1 shows a 1D double chain containing two different helical chains, which is further extended into a two-dimensional supramolecular framework by C-Hâ¯O hydrogen bonding interactions. The photoluminescence properties and photocatalytic properties of the nanoparticles of CP 1 and Ag/CP 1 on the degradation of methylene blue (MB) were investigated, Ag/CP 1 exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity under UV and visible light, which can be attributed to the strong interactions between Ag nanorods and CP 1, which lead to electron-hole pair separation between Ag nanorods and CP 1. In addition, the photocatalytic mechanism is also carried out by introducing t-butyl alcohol (TBA) as a widely used ·OH scavenger. The influence of ultrasound irradiation time and power on the morphology and size of the nanostructure CP 1 were studied. The results indicated that a decrease in time and an increase in power led to a decrease of particle size.
