A 2D Dy-based metal-organic framework derived from benzothiadiazole: structure and photocatalytic properties

A 2D Dy( iii ) metal-organic layer (MOL 1 ) was synthesized under solvothermal conditions. Structural analysis suggests that the Dy( iii ) ions in each one-dimensional (1D) arrangement are evenly arranged in the form of broken lines. The 1D chains are linked to one another via ligands to form a 2D layer that generates a 2D surface with elongated apertures. The photocatalytic activity study suggests that MOL 1 exhibits good catalytic activity in flavonoids by the formation of an O 2 &z.rad; − radical as an intermediate. This is the first reported method of synthesizing flavonoids using chalcones. A 2D Dy( iii ) metal-organic layer (MOL 1 ) was synthesized under solvothermal conditions.
