[0034] To better illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] A method for preparing a three-dimensional cobalt metal-organic complex includes the following steps:

[0037] (1) Mix 9.0g iminodiacetic acid, 6.9ml phosphoric acid and 540ml water evenly in polytetrafluoroethylene and react at a high temperature of 170℃ for 12 hours. Cool to room temperature to obtain H2DPDA crystals.

[0038] (2) Dissolve 0.4 mmol Co(NO3)2·6H2O and 0.4 mmol 4,4'-bpy in a mixed solution of 4 ml H2O and methanol (volume ratio 9:2); dissolve 0.2 mmol H2DPDA crystals in 2 ml of 0.2 mol / L NaOH solution. Mix the two solutions thoroughly, then transfer them to polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and crystallize at 100 °C for 72 hours. Then, crystallize at 5 °C·h. -1 The rate was reduced to room temperature to obtain three-dimensional cobalt metal-organic complexes.

[0039] The study found that when the molar ratio of Co(NO3)2·6H2O, H2DPDA and 4,4'-bpy was 1:0.5:1, the resulting three-dimensional cobalt organometallic complex had the most complete crystallinity, the largest single crystal volume, and relatively uniform crystal particles, with a yield of 78.62%.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] A method for preparing a three-dimensional cobalt metal-organic complex includes the following steps:

[0042] (1) Mix 9.0g iminodiacetic acid, 6.9ml phosphoric acid and 540ml water evenly in polytetrafluoroethylene and react at a high temperature of 170℃ for 12 hours. Cool to room temperature to obtain H2DPDA crystals.

[0043] (2) Dissolve 0.4 mmol Co(NO3)2·6H2O and 1.2 mmol 4,4'-bpy in a mixed solution of 4 ml H2O and methanol (volume ratio 9:2); dissolve 0.6 mmol H2DPDA crystals in 2 ml of 0.3 mol / L NaOH solution. Mix the two solutions thoroughly, then transfer them to polytetrafluoroethylene and crystallize at 100 °C for 72 hours, then at 5 °C·h. -1 The rate was reduced to room temperature to obtain three-dimensional cobalt metal-organic complexes.

[0044] The study found that when the molar ratio of Co(NO3)2·6H2O, H2DPDA and 4,4'-bpy was 1:1.5:3, the resulting three-dimensional cobalt organometallic complex crystals had relatively complete crystallinity, with medium-sized individual crystals and relatively irregular crystal particles, and the yield of the three-dimensional cobalt organometallic complex was 68.57%.

[0045] Example 3

[0046] A method for preparing a three-dimensional cobalt metal-organic complex includes the following steps:

[0047] (1) Mix 9.0g iminodiacetic acid, 6.9ml phosphoric acid and 540ml water evenly in polytetrafluoroethylene and react at a high temperature of 170℃ for 12 hours. Cool to room temperature to obtain H2DPDA crystals.

[0048] (2) Dissolve 0.4 mmol Co(NO3)2·6H2O and 0.4 mmol 4,4'-bpy in a mixed solution of 4 ml H2O and methanol (volume ratio 12:2); dissolve 0.4 mmol H2DPDA crystals in 2 ml of 0.44 mol / L NaOH solution.

Then, crystallize at 5 °C·h. -1 The rate was reduced to room temperature to obtain three-dimensional cobalt metal-organic complexes.

[0049] The study found that when the molar ratio of Co(NO3)2·6H2O, H2DPDA and 4,4'-bpy was 1:1:1, the resulting three-dimensional cobalt organometallic complex crystals had relatively complete crystallinity, small individual crystal volume but relatively uniform crystal particles, and the yield of the three-dimensional cobalt organometallic complex was 65.91%.

[0050] Example 4

[0051] The only difference between the preparation method of the three-dimensional cobalt metal organic complex in this embodiment and that in Example 1 is that Co(NO3)2·6H2O in step (2) is replaced with an equimolar amount of Co(OAc)2·4H2O.

[0052] Example 5

[0053] The only difference between the preparation method of the three-dimensional cobalt metal organic complex in this embodiment and that in Example 1 is that Co(NO3)2·6H2O in step (2) is replaced with an equimolar amount of CoSO4·7H2O.

[0054] A comparison of Examples 1 and 4-5 shows that when Co(NO3)2·6H2O is selected as the cobalt source, the resulting three-dimensional cobalt metal organo-complex crystals have the most complete crystallinity, and the volume and particle size of individual crystals are relatively uniform.

[0055] Example 1

[0056] Single-crystal X-ray intensity data were obtained using graphite monochromatic Mo Kα radiation. The data were acquired at 296(2) K using a Bruker SMARTAPEX II diffractometer. The structure was solved and the space group determined using the direct method with the ShelXS-97 structure solver (Sheldrick, 2008), and then refined on F2 using the full matrix least squares minimization method with the ShelXL-97 version (Sheldrick, 2008). All non-hydrogen atoms were refined using anisotropic methods, and the positions of hydrogen atoms were obtained through geometric calculations and refined using a riding model. Some parameters of the crystal diffraction data collection and structure refinement of the three-dimensional cobalt organometallic complex prepared in Example 1 are shown in Table 1.

[0059]

[0060] The three-dimensional cobalt metal-organic complexes prepared in Examples 1-5 have the same structure, such as... Figure 1 Its central Co(II) ion adopts a six-coordinate system, interacting with four different DPDA groups. 2- The ligand consists of four O atoms, while the apex position is occupied by two N atoms in a 4,4'-bpy configuration. The four O atoms in the complex are almost in the same plane, and the bond angle between N1A-Co2-N2 is 180°, forming a tetragonal bipyramidal structure. The bond lengths of Co-N and Co-O at the center of Co(II) range from [missing information]. and

[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, in the three-dimensional cobalt metal-organic complexes prepared in Examples 1-5 of this invention, two adjacent Co(II) ions are bonded by two DPDA bonds. 2- The terminal carboxyl group of the ligand bridges the structure, forming a [Co2(COO)2] binuclear unit. Here, each DPDA... 2- All ligands were completely deprotonated and in μ2-η 2 :η 2 A dual-bridged mode connects two adjacent [Co2(COO)2] binuclear structural units. Simultaneously, the 4,4'-bpy ligand employs μ2-η... 1 :η 1 The coordination mode connects adjacent [Co2(COO)2] binucleate structural units into an infinitely extending one-dimensional chain. Therefore, each binucleate [Co2(COO)2] extends infinitely into a three-dimensional network framework through six bridging ligands. Each [Co2(COO)2] binucleate cluster is considered a six-connected node, as shown below. Figure 3The general structure can be simplified to a three-dimensional, six-connected topological network, with the topological symbol {3}. 12 0.4 24 0.5 9}

[0062] The three-dimensional cobalt-based organometallic complexes prepared in Examples 1-5 have the same structure; only the relevant detection results of the three-dimensional cobalt-based organometallic complex prepared in Example 1 will be shown subsequently. Figure 4 As shown, Example 1 was performed at 3511 cm. -1 A broad and strong infrared peak is observed at 2944 cm⁻¹, which coincides with the OH bond of the H₂O molecule. -1 The weak absorption band at approximately 1651 cm⁻¹ is due to the stretching vibration of the aromatic CH group. -1 The structure exhibits both symmetric and asymmetric stretching vibrations at C=O, and at 1308 cm⁻¹ -1 Characteristic CN stretching vibrations were observed. Meanwhile, the C=C stretching vibrations of the aromatic ring skeleton were located at 1497 cm⁻¹. -1 The absorption peaks of the aromatic ring CH bond are at 400 and 800 cm⁻¹. -1 The above demonstrates that the complex of Example 1 has been successfully prepared. Figure 5 As shown, comparing the XRD curve of Example 1 with the curve obtained from simulated crystal data, it can be seen that the complex prepared in Example 1 is a pure phase. Figure 6 As shown, the cobalt metal organic complex prepared in Example 1 begins to collapse its crystal structure after 300°C, exhibiting good thermal stability.

[0063] Example 2

[0064] The three-dimensional cobalt metal-organic complex obtained in Example 1 was subjected to variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility testing under an applied DC magnetic field of 1000 Oe.

[0065] The temperature-dependent magnetization curves of the prepared three-dimensional cobalt-based organometallic complexes are as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility χ of this complex at 300K can be observed. M The T value is 3.00 cm. 3 ·K·mol -1 3.75 cm below two independent Co(II) atoms 3 ·K·mol -1 This may be due to the stronger spin-orbit coupling in the octahedral environment. As the temperature decreases, χ...

[0066] Example 3

[0067] Test samples: Three-dimensional cobalt metal organo-complexes prepared in Examples 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5.

[0068] Test method: Weigh 10 mg of test sample and add it to 50 ml of dye aqueous solution (40 mg / L). Stir in the dark for 30 min to allow the complex surface to reach adsorption-desorption equilibrium. Then add 15 mg of potassium persulfate and introduce a 10 W xenon lamp light source. The temperature is room temperature and the pH is 7.

[0069] like Figure 8 As shown, the three-dimensional cobalt metal organic complex obtained in Example 1 showed a degradation rate of up to 99.82% for methylene blue, 99.70% for malachite green, and 96.68% for crystal violet within 5 minutes after the addition of potassium persulfate.

[0070] The three-dimensional cobalt metal-organic complexes obtained in Examples 2-5 have the same structure as those in Example 1, and their effects on the degradation of methylene blue, malachite green and crystal violet dyes are similar to those in Example 1.

[0071] The results show that the three-dimensional cobalt-based organometallic complex of the present invention has a high degradation rate for the three dyes and can degrade a variety of dyes. The three-dimensional cobalt-based organometallic complex of the present invention is a highly efficient catalyst for dye degradation.

[0072] Example of effect 4

[0073] Test samples: Three-dimensional cobalt metal organo-complexes prepared in Examples 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5.

[0074] Test method: Weigh 10 mg of the test sample and add it to 50 ml of methylene blue aqueous solution (40 mg / L). Stir in the dark for 30 min to allow the complex surface to reach adsorption-desorption equilibrium. Then add 15 mg of potassium persulfate and introduce a 10 W xenon lamp light source. The pH range for the degradation of methylene blue dye on the three-dimensional cobalt organometallic complex is tested at room temperature and pH values ​​of 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11. Figure 9As shown, the complex prepared in Example 1 exhibits a strong ability to catalyze the degradation of potassium persulfate within the pH range of 3-11, which means that it can be practically applied under the same environmental conditions.

[0075] The three-dimensional cobalt metal-organic complexes obtained in Examples 2-5 have the same structure as those in Example 1, and their degradation of methylene blue dye at different pH values ​​is similar to that in Example 1.

[0076] Example 5

[0077] Test samples: Three-dimensional cobalt metal organo-complexes prepared in Examples 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5.

[0078] Test method: Weigh 10 mg of the test sample and add it to 50 ml of methylene blue aqueous solution (40 mg / L). Stir in the dark for 30 min to allow the complex surface to reach adsorption-desorption equilibrium. Then add 15 mg of potassium persulfate and introduce a 10 W xenon lamp light source. The temperature is room temperature and pH is 7. Perform a reusability test on the methylene blue dye degradation of the three-dimensional cobalt organometallic complex. Figure 10 As shown, after five cycles of catalytic degradation of potassium persulfate by the complex prepared in Example 1, the degradation efficiency of methylene blue remained above 90%, indicating that the complex has stable catalytic activity and can be reused.

[0079] The three-dimensional cobalt metal-organic complexes obtained in Examples 2-5 have the same structure as those in Example 1, and their performance in the recovery experiment of degrading methylene blue dye is similar to that in Example 1.

[0080] Example 6

[0081] Does the three-dimensional cobalt-based organometallic complex leach cobalt ions during dye degradation? Figure 11 As shown, comparing the XRD curves of methylene blue dye before and after degradation in Example 1, it can be seen that Co ions can rapidly activate PMS to generate free radicals that degrade the dye. However, excessive Co ion overflow will pollute the environment. Compared with the newly prepared complex, the experimental data obtained by Co-MOFs@methylene blue material have some differences in peak intensity, but the main peaks still exist and the framework has not collapsed. This indicates that Example 1 does not generate too much toxic byproduct Co ions during the degradation process.

[0082] In summary, the three-dimensional cobalt-based organometallic complex of the present invention exhibits excellent performance in the field of dye degradation, showing high degradation efficiency for MB, MG, and CV dyes. It is a highly efficient catalyst and is expected to be widely used in various environments to remove organic pollutants.

[0083] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
