Abstract

In this study, we investigated the synthesis of CuO microrods by simple calcination of copper-based coordination polymer particles (Cu-CPPs) at high temperature in air. The photocatalytic activity of the CuO microrods was tested by the decomposition of aqueous solution of RhB, which was completely decomposed by irradiation with light. To analyze the relationship of metal ions and ligands in the Cu-CPPs, the single crystal of [Cu(terpyOH)2] ·(HBTC)·2H2O (1) (terpyOH=4′-hydroxy-2,2′: 6′,2″-terpyridine, BTC=1,3,5-benzene tricarboxylate) was first prepared and characterized by X-ray single crystal structural analysis. A variety of hydrogen bonds constructing the 3D complex structure in [Cu(terpyOH)2]·(HBTC)·2H2O (1) were observed.
