Multi-responsive chemosensing and photocatalytic properties of three luminescent coordination polymers derived from a bifunctional 1,1′-di(4-carbonylphenyl)-2,2′-biimidazoline ligand

Abstract

Three 3D Zn^II/Cd^II CPs were synthesized to act as multiresponsive luminescent sensors for Fe³⁺, Cr₂O₇²⁻ and NZF antibiotic. The photocatalytic studies indicate that the CPs <bold>1–3</bold> have good photocatalytic capability in degradation of MB.
