Abstract

A mononuclear copper (II) complex with pyridine-carboxylate ligands, Cu(pc)2·2H2O (pcH = pyridine-2-carboxylic acid), and its initial ligand pyridine-2-amidoxine, have been prepared by a hydrothermal method. The structure of the complex has been characterized by X-ray crystallography. The complex was observed to be active in photo-catalyzing oxidation of Rhodamine B (RhB) and Methyl Orange (MO) in aqueous solution with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
