Abstract

A silver-based coordination polymer [Ag2(idca)(H2O)2] (BUC-16), had been successfully prepared and used as efficient adsorbent to perform adsorption toward organic pollutants like promethazine hydrochlorine (PMH, 1395 mg g-1), sulfamethoxazole (SMX, 675 mg g-1), methylene blue (MB, 1317 mg g-1) in simulated wastewater. The slow-release of Ag+ ions from BUC-16 leads to its efficient and long-term antimicrobial and alga-inhibiting (odour control) activities. This is the first study on alga-inhibiting properties of coordination polymer, to the best of our knowledge. In vitro cytotoxicity (NIH-3T3 cells) test showed that BUC-16 has lower cell toxicity, implying its good biocompatibility.
