Abstract

The reaction of uranyl acetate dihydrate with 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylic acid (H2TDC) as the main ligand and pyrazine (PYZ); piperazine (PZ); 1,4 pyridyl piperazine (PYPZ); 1,4-di(pyridin-4-yl) piperazine (DPYZ); 1,2 pyrimidyl piperazine (PMPZ) as auxiliary ligand leads to the formation of five new compounds UO2(TDC)(H2O)]center dot(PYZ)(0.5)center dot H2O, (I); (UO2)(2)(TDC)(3)center dot(HPZ)center dot 4(H2O), (II); UO2(TDC)(2)(H2O)]center dot(H(2)DPYZ)center dot H2O, (III); UO2(TDC)(3)]center dot(H(2)DPYZ), (IV); (UO2)(2)(TDC)(3)(H2O)]center dot(H(2)PMPZ)center dot H2O, (V). They were analyzed by IR, UV vis, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, and fluorescence spectroscopy. Depending on the countercation, uranyl thiophene dicarboxylate is shown to crystallize as 2D layer in (I, IV), 2D layer with twofold interpenetrated (6,3) nets in (II), 1D chains in (III), and 2D layer without 2-fold interpenetrated (6,3) nets in (V). The coligand DPYZ in structures of (III and IV) had not been added to the reaction but has been formed by the N-arylation of the PYPZ ligand. Compound (IV) was obtained serendipitously while trying some mixed metal compound. Furthermore, their functional properties, photoluminescence, and photocatalytical activity for oxidation of organic dyes have also been studied. Interestingly, compounds (II and V) with uranyl organic frameworks (UOF's) and honeycomb (6,3) nets possess highest efficiency in degradation of dyes.
