Abstract
In this study, a novel Cr(III)-based coordination compound, namely [Cr(L)(phen)(HCOO)]2∙6H2O(1) [H2L=3-carboxy-1-(carboxymethyl)-2-oxidopyridinium, phen=1, 10-phenanthroline ], was successfully synthesized via a solvothermal method. The structure of the synthesized coordination compound was confirmed by CCD single-crystal X-ray diffraction . The compound was further characterized using infrared spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and powder X-ray diffraction. The degradation of tetracycline (TC) was investigated using the coordination compound in combination with H2O2 under simulated ultraviolet (UV) light ,. Detailed catalytic reaction and kinetic studies revealed a TC degradation efficiency of 82.99% with a rate constant of 0.0115 min-1, indicating that the coordination compound exhibits promising performance in the photocatalytic degradation of antibiotics.
