Hydrothermal synthesis, photoluminescence and photocatalytic properties of two silver(I) complexes

We report two new silver coordination complexes [Ag(Hntph)(tpyz)2/2]n 1 and [Ag2(dtrz)2(Hntph)2]n 2 via hydrothermal reactions. The photocatalytic experiments showed that complex 2 was an excellent visible light candidate for degradation of RhB, and the degradation ratio of RhB reached 91.4% after 7 h under the light of 90 W white LED lamp.177
