Abstract: One novel metal halide clustered supramolecular polymer, {(BLP) [Ag8Br12]0.5}n(BLP = 1, 3-bis(3,5-lutidine)propane) has been synthesized via the self-assembly reaction in solution. 1 was characterized by X-ray crystal structure, PXRD, TG, elemental analysis, and UV-Vis. This compound exhibits two-dimensional polyrotaxane structure. Great efforts were devoted to investigate its applications in wastewater purification on the basis of methylene blue (MB) degradation.
