Zusammenfassung:The construction of acid-base resistant materials for elimination of organic contaminations in water under the sunlight conditions is very important for the protection of our living surroundings. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising candidates for photocatalytic applications, but many of them suffer from poor framework stability under the acidic or basic conditions. In this study, by using a bifunctional ligand 4-(4-carboxyphenyl)-1,2,4-triazole (HCPT) featuring both carboxylate and azole groups, a new polyoxometalate-based MOF formulated as {[Cu8Cl5(CPT)(8)(H2O)(4)](HSiW12) (H2O)(20)(CH3CN)(4)}(n) (1) has been prepared via a solvothermal approach. Complex 1 shows a 3D 2-fold interpenetrating scu-type network based on the four-connected {Cu-2(CO2)(4)} and eight-connected {Cu4Cl}(7+) clusters, and could be stable in a wide range of pH values f0 to 14). Apart from its excellent framework stability, complex 1 shows a high photocatalytic efficiency for the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) by visible light irradiation and nearly 97% of the RhB was degraded within 70 min. To our knowledge, complex 1 represents the first case of polyoxometalate-based MOFs constructed from the mixed-cluster units.
