| In this context, a porous heterotrimetallic organic framework composed of dicarboxyl-functionalized Schiff base ligands and metals, namely [BaNa(Fe-L)2(μ2-OH)(H2O)]·DMF·2H2O (1) [H4L=1,2-cyclohexanediamino-N,N’-bis(3-methyl-5-carboxysalicylidene)], has been synthesized and characterized. Each FeⅢ ion is embedded in the internal [N2O2] pocket of L4- anion, and further bridged by a μ2-OH anion to give a (Fe-L)2(μ2-OH) dimer. Three unique BaⅡ ions exhibit two forms of coordination geometries. Each Ba1 and Ba2 ion is eight-coordinated by oxygen atoms from eight distinct L4- anions, respectively. Ba3 is six-coordinated by four L4- anions and two coordinated water molecules, exhibiting a distorted octahedral sphere. Both two NaⅠ ions are tetra-coordinated by oxygen atoms. Two forms of L4- anions coordinate to (three Ba/two Na) and (two Ba/two Na) atoms, respectively. In this way, a porous 3D framework is engendered.A porous heterotrimetallic organic framework has been also characterized by UV-vis spectra (UV-vis), infrared spectra (IR), therogravimetric (TG) elemental analyses powder X-ray diffractions. Besides, we also have studied the gas sorption of 1. It is worth noting that the photodegradation property of 1 to 2-chlorophenol (2-CP),3-CP and 4-CP at different pH values under visible light has been systematically investigated. |
