A 1D anionic coordination polymer showing superior Congo Red sorption and its dye composite exhibiting remarkably enhanced photocurrent response†
Abstract
Instant adsorption of Congo Red (CR) by a 1D coordination polymer, [(H2L)0.5][Zn(1,2,3-BTA)(H2O)]·2H2O (1·2H2O), leads to the formation of a unique dye composite 1·0.75CR·6H2O, which demonstrates a remarkably enhanced photocurrent response compared to that of its precursor.
