TiO-based materials have been developing rapidly as eco-friendly photocatalysts, but the inherent defects limited their application, such as rapid recombination of photogenerated electrons and wide bandgap. To obtain high-efficient TiO/carbonaceous photocatalysts (TiO/C), we prepared the nanocomposite by carbonizing titanium alginate coordination compound and studied their photocatalytic performance against methylene blue (MB) under simulated sunlight irradiation. The resultant nanocomposites were characterized by FT-IR, XPS, XRD, SEM-EDS, TG-DTG, UV-DRS, and N adsorption-desorption analysis. The carbon mainly existed in the outer layer of TiO/C composites, contributing to the optical sensibilization. As a result, the degradation efficiency of sample TiO/C-20 to MB could reach 97.47% within 15 min under simulated sunlight. The samples also possessed high stability, proved by the 0.72% reduction in photodegradation ratio after five cyclic tests. The present study proved the feasibility of preparing photocatalyst from titanium-alginate coordination compound and provided an extensible approach for preparing high-efficiency photocatalysts from a polysaccharide-based coordination compound.

Hybrid coordination polimers based on AgX (with X = Cl, Br) and 2-, 3-, 4-picolylamine ligands, obtained by means of solvent-free methods, show peculiar luminescence properties that are strongly influenced by their structural motif, which in turn is defined by the adopted isomer of the ligand. A comprehensive study, combining photophysical methods and DFT calculations, allowed to rationalize the emissive behaviour of such hybrid coordination polymers in relation to their crystal structures and electronic properties. By means of luminescence measurements at variable temperatures, the nature of the emissive excited states and their deactivation dynamics was interpreted, revealing XMLCT transitions in the [(AgX)(2-pica)] compounds, a TADF behaviour in the case of 3-pica derivatives, and a dual emission at room temperature for the [(AgX)(4-pica)] family.

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites (OIHPs) have attracted enormous attention owing to their intriguing structural tunability and diverse functional properties. Reconstructive phase transitions, involving the breaking and reconstruction of chemical bonds, have rarely been found in such materials; however, these features may induce many intriguing physical properties in optics, ferroelectrics, ferromagnetics, and so forth. Here, we utilized the weak and switchable coordination bonds of HETMA-MnCl (HETMA = (2-hydroxyethyl) trimethylammonium) to construct a 1D hybrid perovskite employing a neutral framework.

A novel antimonotungstate (AT)-based heterometallic framework {[Er(HO)][Fe(Hpdc)(B-β-SbWO)]}·50HO (, Hpdc = pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid) was obtained through a synergistic strategy of in situ-generated transition-metal-encapsulated polyoxometalate (POM) building units and the substitution reaction. Its structural unit is composed of a tetra-Fe-substituted Krebs-type [Fe(Hpdc)(B-β-SbWO)] subunit and two [Er(HO)] cations. This subunit can be regarded as a product of carboxylic oxygen atoms of Hpdc ligands replacing active water ligands in the [Fe(HO)(B-β-SbWO)] species.
