Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies revealed that compound 1 crystallizes in triclinic space group P1(No. 2) with a = 11.2694(2), b = 12.3699(3), c = 15.0387(3) ?, α = 102.840(2), β = 105.215(2), γ = 96.388(2)°, V = 1940.04(7) ^3, Z = 1, Dc = 2.438 g·cm^-3, F(000) = 1324, R = 0.0256 and w R = 0.0555(I 〉 2σ(I)). Compound 1 features a discrete anionic moiety of [Cu6I10]^4- charge-balanced by two metal complexes of [Ni(phen)3]2+. The optical absorption edge of compound 1 was estimated to be 2.24 eV. Interestingly, nearly 95% of contaminant(crystal violet aqueous solution(CV), 50 m L, 1.0 × 10^-5 M) could be decolorized after exposure to visible light within 30 min, illustrating an impressive photocatalytic activity of compound 1.
