Enhanced Organic Dye Adsorption and Photocatalytic Activity Through Metal-Organic Framework Featuring Heptanuclear / Binuclear Clusters and Cage-Cavities

A caged Metal-Organic Framework based on heptanuclear and binuclear copper-clusters, namely [Cu9(L)10(H2O)2] (Cu-MOF) (L = rigid 6-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-2-naphthalenoic acid) was synthesized and structurally characterized by a solvothermal method. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction...
