A multifunctional [CdI₄]²⁻·[H₂Bimb]²⁺complex to probe high performance photocatalytic degradation of methyl violet and fluorescent detection of Cr₂O₇²⁻and Hg²⁺ions

Abstract

A new organic-inorganic complex, [CdI4]2−∙[H2Bimb]2+ (KA@S) (Bimb = 1,4-bis[(1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl]benzene), has been synthesized at ambient temperature and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD), elemental analysis, Variable Temperature Powder X-ray diffraction (VT-PXRD),...
