Synthesis and structure of Anderson cluster based organic-inorganic hybrid solid, [{Cu(2-pzc)(H2O)2}2{H7AlMo6O24}]·17H2O and its dye adsorption properties.
Abstract: An inorganic-organic hybrid compound, namely [{Cu(2-pzc)(H2O)2}2{H7AlMo6O24}]·17H2O was synthesized based on Anderson-Evans cluster by the normal stirring process at room temperature. Its structure consists of metal coordination polymer covalently linked with Anderson-Evans cluster forming a 2D-sheet with void space containing water chains as determined by Single-Crystal X-ray Diffraction technique. This material owing to its void space of approx. 13 Å was utilized for adsorption of organic dyes like Methylene Blue (MB), Basic Violet 1 (BV1) and shows ultra-high uptake (more than 90%) within 5 min.Graphical abstract:: Anderson-Evans cluster based organic-inorganic hybrid solid is reported which shows remarkable activity in adsorbtion of basic dyes namely Methylene Blue and Basic Violet 1 from their aqueous solution.
