The novel copper coordination compound of [Cu(anic)<sub>2</sub>]·0.75H<sub>2</sub>O (anic= 2-aminonicotinate) with the microflake morphology was synthesized through the reaction of 2-aminonicotinic acid (Hanic) and copper(II) nitrate. Using elemental analysis and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, the chemical composition of CuC<sub>12</sub>H<sub>11.5</sub>N<sub>4</sub>O<sub>4.75</sub> was proposed. Calcination process at 550 °C for 4 h transformed the microflakes into CuO nanoparticles incorporated in a mesoporous structure. The FTIR peaks assigned to 2-aminonicotinate were completely removed after calcination, confirming CuO formation. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis also confirmed the generation of pure and crystalline CuO. SEM showed CuO nanoparticles with the average diameter of 75 nm. The diffuse reflectance spectrum (DRS) of the CuO nanoparticles showed a band gap energy of −1.58 eV. The degradation efficiency toward rhodamine B was almost 100 % after 5 h illumination when both CuO and H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> were utilized. The results show that the product can be used as an efficient photocatalyst for water treatment.展开更多

The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group C2/c with a = 12.455(3), b = 6.202(1), c = 16.555(3) ? b = 106.776(3), V = 1224.3(4) 3, Z = 4, Mr = 357.76, Dc =1.941 g/cm3, m(MoKa) = 1.827 mm-1, F(000) = 724, R = 0.0601 and wR = 0.1417 for 908 observed reflections (I > 2s(I)). The Cu(Ⅱ) atom is coordinated by an elongated square pyramid geometry. The deprotonated isonicotinic acid N-oxides form a double-bridge between each pair of Cu(Ⅱ) ions in trans form through two oxygen atoms from the carboxyl groups and two other oxygen atoms from the -NO groups, respectively, which leads to an infinite one dimensional chain. The two adjacent elongated Cu(Ⅱ) square pyramidal geometries are arranged in trans form in the same chain. The OH…O hydrogen bonds extend the chain structure into two-dimensional layers.展开更多
