New iodoargentate hybrids containing lanthanide complexes were prepared by diffusion methods, showing photocatalytic activity in degrading organic pollutants. Compounds 2 and 3 exhibited higher photocatalytic activities in crystal violet degradation compared to compound 1.
New iodoargentate hybrids containing lanthanide complexes, [La(DMA)(8)]Ag9I12 center dot 2H(2)O ( 1) and [Ln-(DMA)(7)](2)Ag16I22 (Ln = Pr (2), Sm(3); DMA = N,N-dimethylacetamide), were prepared by diffusion methods using DMAsolvated lanthanide complexes as structure-directing agents. The octakis-solvated La3+ cation leads to formation of the 1-D nonanuclear [Ag9I12](n)(3n-) polymeric anion constructed by AgI4 tetrahedral units through edge sharing, while the heptakis-solvated Ln(3+) (Ln = Pr, Sm) cation affords the new 1-D hexadecanuclear [Ag16I22](n)(6n-) polymeric anion built up from AgI4 units by both corner and edge sharing. Compounds 1-3 possess band gaps of 2.58, 2.77, and 2.74 eV, respectively, and show steady photocurrents in the range 14.2-18.0 mu A under Xe light irradiation. They are photocatalytic active in the degradation of organic pollutants of crystal violet (CV) and rhodamine B (RhB) in water at room temperature. 2 and 3 perform higher photocatalytic activities than 1 in the CV degradation, which is attributed to the different photocurrent intensities. Photocatalytic mechanism investigations on compounds 2 and 3 show that h(+) hole and center dot O-2(-) radical play major roles in the CV degradation, respectively.
