Dual Reactivity Induced Structure Transformation of Coordination Polymers in Solid State

Structure transformation of dual reactive coordination polymers in solid state is unique but rarely reported. In this work, dual reactive Znbpe was successfully prepared, whose solid-state structure transformation was realized by UV light and ozone on the same crystal with different order. The products of structure transformation from Znbpe, Znbpe-OL and Znbpe-LO, exhibit similar rod-like morphology and crystal structure. And their corresponding calcination product show better photocatalytic activities in terms of Rhodamine-B degradation than Znbpe's.
