Functionalization of Two-Dimensional Coordination Polymer in Small Organic Matter Removal from Organic Wastewater

Multicobalt(II) two-dimensional layer coordination polymer {[Co(bitbu-OMe)2(NCS)2]·2MeOH}n (1) was synthesized using a bis-imidazole ligand having steric hindrance, tert-butyl, and one methoxy group expressed by bitbu-OMe (bitbu-OMe = 1,1′-[(5-tert-butyl-2-methoxybenzene-1,3-diyl)dimethanediyl]bis(1H-imidazole). Since there are two methanol molecules trapped inside each void within 1, the investigation of small organic matter removal from wastewater conducted in order to reveal its ability purification process. The research findings indicate that 1 has capture methanol, acetone, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran with ratios 29.17%, 63.22%, 42.77%, 21.24%, respectively.
