Incorporating nickel-substituted polyoxometalate into a photoactive metal-organic framework for efficient photodegradation of thiamethoxam insecticide.

Hydrogen bonding enhances the interactions between host and guest molecules and facilitates electron transfer between them. In this study, a series of hydrogen-bonded Z-scheme photocatalysts were prepared via impregnation. Nickel (Ni)-substituted polyoxometalate (POM) NaK[Ni(HO)(PWO)]∙32HO (NiP) was anchored within the pores of Zr(μ-OH)(-OH)(TBAPy) (NU-1000) via hydrogen bonding interactions (HTBAPy = 1,3,6,8-tetrakis(p-benzoic acid)pyrene).
