Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies revealed that compound 1 crystallizes in triclinic space group P1（No. 2） with a = 11.2694（2）, b = 12.3699（3）, c = 15.0387（3） ？, α = 102.840（2）, β = 105.215（2）, γ = 96.388（2）°, V = 1940.04（7） ^3, Z = 1, Dc = 2.438 g·cm^-3, F（000） = 1324, R = 0.0256 and w R = 0.0555（I 〉 2σ（I））. Compound 1 features a discrete anionic moiety of [Cu6I10]^4- charge-balanced by two metal complexes of [Ni（phen）3]2＋. The optical absorption edge of compound 1 was estimated to be 2.24 eV. Interestingly, nearly 95% of contaminant（crystal violet aqueous solution（CV）, 50 m L, 1.0 × 10^-5 M） could be decolorized after exposure to visible light within 30 min, illustrating an impressive photocatalytic activity of compound 1. The thermal stability of 1 has also been studied.展开更多

The results of these experiments revealed that Cu2O and CuI were deposited on the MWCNTs in the cubic and γ phases, respectively. These results also showed that the Cu-containing MWCNTs exhibited weak to strong electron-accepting （Lewis acidic） properties. The catalytic activities of these materials were studied for the synthesis of biologically significant N-（pyridin-2-yl）benzamides via the oxidative amidation of aryl aldehydes with 2-aminopyridines. The yields of the products were in the range 50%-95% with 100% selectivity. Notably, the CuI/MWCNT catalyst was much more effective than the Cu2O/MWCNT catalyst with respect to the isolated yield of the product, although the latter of these two catalysts exhibited much better recyclability. A preferential interaction was observed between the polar nature of the acid-activated MWCNTs and the ionic Cu2O compared with covalent CuL The differences in these interactions had a significant impact on the rate of the nucleophilic attack of the amino group of 2-aminopyridine substrate on the carbonyl group of the aryl aldehyde.展开更多

The solar cell based on nanoporous TiO2 thin film with large pores formed by the addition of polystyrene balls with diameter of 200 nm to the TiO2 paste exhibits photovoltaic performance enhancement, which is attributed to the good contact of CuI with surface of dye-sensitized thin film due to easy penetration of CuI in the film with large pores.展开更多
