“…[1][2][3][4] As a kind of antibiotic, tetracycline plays a great role in medical treatment and animal husbandry, but its long-term residual in water will cause harm to the water resources and human health.

Tetracycline drugs play a very important role in medical production and animal husbandry, but their residues are difficult to be naturally degraded in water environment, which causes a certain threat to human health. In this paper, the BiOI/Fe 2 O 3 /BiOBr composite photocatalytic material was successfully prepared to degrade tetracycline. The morphology and structure of the material were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, EDX, FT-IR, UV-vis DRS, PL, EIS, photocurrent response, BET, and TOC, and the effect of the material on the degradation of tetracycline under simulated sunlight was investigated. The results showed that when the mass of BiOI/Fe 2 O 3 and BiOBr was 1:1, reacted at 160 C for 16 h, BiOI/Fe 2 O 3 /BiOBr has the best degradation effect on tetracycline. The degradation rate of tetracycline can reach 85% in 180 min, and its kinetic rate constant is 2.16 and 1.8 times that of single BiOI and BiOI/ Fe 2 O 3 , respectively. Based on the capture experiment of active substances, a Z-scheme catalytic mechanism is proposed to analyze the degradation process of tetracycline, and BiOI/Fe 2 O 3 /BiOBr also showed a certain photocatalytic activity to other antibiotics and organic dyes in water.

“…Polymers and hybrid materials have established their multifaceted deliverable outcome-based properties to meet many challenges of the environment and the society − such as clean energy, ensuring health, zero-waste management, supply of hygienic water, and pollution-free air. A number of such materials are employed to fabricate energy-saving electronic devices. − Some of the external factors affect the stability and efficiency of such devices made up of organic polymers. − However, after the historic recognition of the coordination chemistry (Alfred Warner, Nobel prize in 1913), it extends the exploration in different branches of science. − Organic–inorganic hybrid compounds are such materials that show promising applications in diverse fields following SDG protocol. − The coordination polymers (CPs)/metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are such hybrid materials, and their importance is established for the well-being of civilization …”
A 3D coordination polymer of Mn(II), [Mn 2 (aisp) 3 (pcih) 2 (solvent)] n (CP1) (pcih = pyridine-4-carboxaldehyde isonicotinoyl hydrazine and H 2 aisp = 5-aminoisophthalic acid), was constructed by doubly heterobridging ligands and was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurements. The noncovalent forces (H-bonding, π•••π interactions) bring robustness and stability (thermal and chemical) to the framework. The optical band gap of CP1 obtained from Tauc's plot (2.98 eV) is comparable with the DFT computation value (HOMO and LUMO energy difference = 2.80 eV) and is crucial for the fabrication of a semiconducting device. A thin-film device ITO/ CP1/Cu was constructed at the measured electrical conductivity of 1.57 × 10 −6 m 2 V −1 s −1 and the series resistance (R s ) of 331 Ω, at a dark phase. Isoniazid, an antibiotic, used to prepare a Schiff base, pcih, and the present compound, CP1, motivated us to examine the anticancer efficiency against as many as four cancer cell lines (HeLa, PC3, MDA-MB 231, A549) and was compared with the NKE (human normal kidney epithelial) cell line. CP1 showed a better impact in inhibiting the proliferation of HeLa cells (IC 50 : 17.58 ± 1.56 μM) than other cancer cells (IC 50 : 21.52 ± 2.44 μM (PC3), 36.41 ± 1.72 μM (MDA-MB 231), 50.29 ± 3.81 μM (A549)). Loading and delivery of drug diclofenac sodium (DMNa) were tested in two different pH = 1.2 (simulated stomach environment) and pH = 7.4 (simulated intestinal environment), which showed ∼8% release at pH 1.2 and ∼87% release at pH 7.4 within 30 h. CP1, a magic material and stable in solution at different pH (1−10), showed multifaceted applications such as being energy saving, anticancer activity, and drug delivery. The design is certainly an important footstep toward the sustainable development goals (SDGs).
“…At present, the migration behavior and degradation mode of antibiotics in water environment have become a hot research topic. In recent years, photocatalysis technology has been widely used in water pollution control, which has important application prospect and potential [4][5][6][7]. The photocatalytic degradation process provides an ideal way for the governance and degradation of CIP [8][9][10].…”
In this paper, two benzimidazole derivative ligands were obtained using o-phenylenediamine and n-pyridine formaldehyde (n = 3, 4) by amine–aldol condensation reactions, which were reacted with selected inorganic metal salts by ambient temperature volatilization method to give compounds 1–4: {[(L1)6]·[Cu8I8]} (1), {[L1]·[CuBr]·H2O} (2), {[L2]·[CuBr]}n (3), and {[(L2)4]·[Cu4I4]} (4). They were characterized by IR, UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and single crystal X-ray analysis. Simultaneously, compounds 1–4 were found to possess photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP) by preliminary experimental investigations.
