Abstract: Two new organic–inorganic hybrid supramolecules {(MAPB)[Ag2(SCN)Br3]} (1) and {(MAPB)2[Ag4I8]CH3CN} (2) have been synthesized with silver iodide, silver thiocyanate and 1,3-bis[(4-aminopyridyl)-N-methylene] benzene dibromide in solution. These compounds have been further characterized by IR spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, PXRD, TG and single-crystal X-ray diffraction in the solid state. Compounds 1 and 2 have novel structure and good photocatalytic performance on degradation of organic dyes in waste-water.

Keywords: Organic–inorganic hybrid supramolecules, preparation and application, photocatalytic performance
