Synthesis, structures and electrocatalytic properties of coordination polymers of 4,4′,4′′,4′′′-tetrakiscarboxyphenylsilane and 1,3,5-tris(2-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzene

Coordination polymers based on H 4 tcps and tmib were synthesized, and the pristine crystals and thermal derivation composites were converted into their metal hydroxides and oxidized hydroxides in alkaline solution as OER catalysts.
