In situ synthesis and photocatalytic mechanism of a cyano bridged Cu(i) polymer

Abstract

A one-dimensional copper(I) nanorod polymer [Cu(L)2·(CN)]n (1) (L = 4(3H)-quinazolone), was formed in situ by C–C bond cleavage of acetonitrile. The in situ synthesis of 1 was analyzed using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and its methylene blue (MB) photocatalytic degradation mechanism was revealed from density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results are helpful for the in situ synthesis of –CN complexes.
