A copper(<scp>i</scp>)/copper(<scp>ii</scp>)–salen coordination polymer as a bimetallic catalyst for three-component Strecker reactions and degradation of organic dyes

Abstract

A copper(i)/copper(ii)-salen coordination polymer prepared by solvothermal reactions shows prominent bimetallic catalytic activities towards three-component Strecker reactions and photodegradation of organic dyes under visible-light illumination.
