摘 要:The paper describes the experiments conducted to create shape controllable preparations of submicronic cad- mium tetrazole-based MOFs. In order to prepare the submicron sized blocks and tubes of bis[5-(2-pyridyltetrazo- lato)]diaquacadmium(II) [(2-PTZ)2Cd(H20)2] MOFs both solvothermal and microwave augmented reaction proce- dures have been followed. Cadmium nitrate tetrahydrate, cyanopyridine and sodium azide were used as reactants in both the conditions without any surfactants or modulators. Subsequently, IR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray crystallographic studies were performed on the prepared MOFs. Examinations using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray powder diffraction of the products made by the microwave method showed formation of bundles of reg- ular submicrotubes, as opposed to the submicron-sized irregular blocks of the Cd-MOF obtained through the sol- vothermal method. The fluorescence peak of the sub-microtube MOF was found at 460 nm while the irregu- lar-blocks emitted at 442 nm indicating a red shift for the former. In addition, the relative intensity of the peak at 460 nm was higher in the former, indicating a decrease in the crystallite size. Band gaps of the MOFs calculated by using the Tauc plots were 2.87 and 2.73 eV, respectively. Their photocatalytic performances using methylene blue under UV-vis irradiation have been investigated.
