Abstract: One new compound consisting of 1,1-bis(4-pyridylthio)methylene ([Bpytm]) ligand, namely [Bpytm]CuI (1), has been prepared and characterized by IR spectroscopy, solid Uv-visible diffuse reflectance spectrum, and X-ray Powder Diffraction (PXRD). Compound 1 is a 2D MOF and ligand [Bpytm] coordinate with metal ions to form tetrahedral configuration. For compound 1: Crystal system: Monoclinic, Space group: C2/c, a = 13.6671(11), b = 11.6075(11), c = 17.1225(12), α= 90°, β= 93.707(3)°, γ= 90°, V = 2710.6(4) Å3, Z = 8, Dcalc = 2.082 g cm–3. The photocatalytic properties and thermal stability have been researched.
