A new metal-organic framework based on hexanuclear copper units, Cu-6(mu(3)-O)(mu(3)-OH)(pz)(6)(btc) (pz = pyrazolate, btc = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate) 1, has been prepared by the hydrothermal reaction of Cu2+ ions, Hpz and H(3)btc ligands in a methanolic solution. The hexanuclear copper building unit in 1 is composed of two triangular Cu3O(H)(pz)(3) units bridged by carboxyl groups, in which each Cu center is coordinatively unsaturated with open coordination sites. The photocatalytic investigation indicates that compound 1 exhibits a higher photocatalytic activity for the degradation of Rhodamine B. (c) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
