Enhanced Heterogeneous Catalytic Activity of Peroxymonosulfate for Rhodamine B Degradation via a Co-Based Metal-Organic Framework.

A stable metal-organic framework with the formula {[Co(BBZB)(IPA)]·HO} (, BBZB = 4,7-bis(1-benzimidazole-1-yl)-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole and HIPA = isophthalic acid) was constructed by incorporating Co ions and two conjugated ligands under solvothermal conditions. takes a dinuclear cluster-based layer structure with a porosity of 2.7%.
