A New 2D Metal-Organic Framework for Photocatalytic Degradation of Organic Dyes in Water

Two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are fascinating photocatalytic materials because of their unique physical and catalytic properties. Herein, we report a new (E)-4-(3-carboxyacrylamido) benzoic acid [ABA–MA] ligand synthesized under facile conditions. This ABA–MA is further utilized to synthesize copper-based 2D MOF via the solvothermal process. The resulting characterized for morphology electronic structural analysis using advanced techniques, such as proton nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible scanning electron microscopy. Furthermore, employed photocatalyst degrading organic dyes, demonstrating degradation/reduction methylene blue (MeBl) dye with excellent catalytic/photodegradation activity in absence any photosensitizer or cocatalyst. apparent rate constant (kap) values MeBl on Cu(II)–[ABA-MA] reported be 0.0093 min−1, 0.0187 0.2539 min−1 different conditions sunlight NaBH4. kinetics stability evaluations reveal noteworthy potential Cu(II)–[ABA–MA] wastewater treatment. work offers insights into fabrication MOFs highly versatile applications.
