Abstract
On the basis of an undeveloped asymmetrical pyridylcarboxylate ligand, 2-(2-carboxypyridin-4-yl)terephthalic acid (H3CPTA), an indium pyridylcarboxylate framework, [(Me)2NH2]1.5[In1.5(CPTA)2]·5.5NMF·6H2O (1), is synthesized under solvent thermal conditions. 1 displays a 3D anionic framework with a large void space, which contains open square channels with a cross section of 14.6 Å and a pore surface decorated with carboxylic oxygen atoms. Depending on the anionic skeleton and high water stability, 1 exhibits high adsorption selectivity and capacity for cationic dyes in aqueous solution. Furthermore, the luminescence performance illustrates that 1 has selectivity and sensitivity to nitenpyram with good recyclability.
