A coordination polymer (CP) based on Co(II), {[Co(Ox)(H2O)3] · 2H2O}n (KA@CP2_ARS), has been synthesized using 1,3,5-tris[(1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl]benzene (Timb) and potassium oxonate (OxK) at room temperature which was examined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. KA@CP2_ARS contains a one-dimensional (1-D) helical chain that is extended through hydrogen-bonding interactions to form two-dimensional (2-D) and three-dimensional (3-D) supramolecular networks. KA@CP2_ARS demonstrates highly selective luminescent performance for IPA, Co2+, MnO4–, and uric acid with detection limits of 0.214, 0.16, 0.076, and 0.65 ppm, respectively, among the screened analytes. KA@CP2_ARS displays strong photocatalytic activities for degrading 88.6% of methyl violet dye under ultraviolet irradiation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A Zn(II)-based polyrotaxane 1D coordination polymer, {[Zn(Or)(Bimb)(H2O)]2·2H2O}n, 1 (Or = orotate; Bimb = 1,4-bis[(1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl]benzene), has been synthesized. 1 provides for luminescent sensing of acetone, Fe3+, MnO4–, nitrofurantoin (NFT), uric acid (UA), and sucrose. The coordination polymer displays exceptional intensity quenching of ∼96.1% with 200 mg/dl of sucrose in aqueous solution. In addition, the reactivity of 1 to photocatalytically degrade the organic dye methylene blue (MB), a hazardous organic pigment, was established. 1 was able to degrade the dye due to the generation of reactive oxygen species.

Variable-temperature powder X-ray diffraction (VT-PXRD) and thermal stability were used to characterize the coordination polymer {[Cd(HBTC)(BPP)]·1.5DMF·2H2O}n (1). From the TGA analysis, as the complex shows stepwise desolvation, the polymer was activated at different specific temperatures to get various desolvated forms and their gas sorptions, as well as luminescence, were analyzed. Complex 1 exhibits strong fluorescent emission in the solid state with the main peak at 390 nm upon excitation at 340 nm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
