A New Co(II)-Based Metal–Organic Framework: Photocatalytic Dye Degradation and Treatment Activity Against Renal Failure Patients Combined with Staphylococcus aureus Biofilm Formation

A novel metal–organic framework based on Co(II) ions as nodes {[Co 2 (bptc)(DMF) 2 (H 2 O)]DMF·H 2 O} n ( 1 ) was prepared and structurally characterized via the reaction of a rigid 3,3,5,5-biphenyltetracarboxylate (H 4 bptc) and Co(NO 3 ) 2 ·6H 2 O under the solvothermal conditions. The photocatalytic performances for complex 1 toward organic dyes degradation were studied. In the biological section, the treatment activity of the synthetic compound against renal failure patients combined with Staphylococcus aureus biofilm formation was evaluated, the related mechanism of the new compound was explored at the same time.
