Abstract
A two-dimensional uranyl organic framework (UOF) UO2(L)(DMA) (1) (H2L = 2-aminoisophthalic acid, DMA = N, N-dimethylacetamide) has been solvothermally synthesized and characterized thoroughly by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, solid fluorescence, powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and UV–visible spectroscopy. Furthermore, the degradation efficiencies of UOF 1 to organic dye methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B (RhB) are 93.2 and 86.5% under irradiation of visible light which indicates that UOF 1 has remarkable photocatalytic activity. UOF 1 also displayed a certain selectivity for mixed dyes of MB & RhB.
