Characterization of newly synthesized photoactive [Cu3(C9H3O6)2].3H2O{18H2O} for the mineralization of Lissamine green SF (LGSF) and Tetraethylrhodamine (TeRh).

The data set include characterization data of a newly synthesized copper metal-organic framework (MOF), [Cu3(C9H3O6)2].3H2O{18H2O} and Benzene -1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (H3BTC), as well as a UV visible absorption data for the photoactivity of [Cu3(C9H3O6)2].3H2O{18H2O} on the mineralization of Lissamine green SF (LGSF) and Tetraethylrhodamine (TeRh). The characterization data indicate tables and images and include Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) data, X-ray diffraction (XRD) data, Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) data, Scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDS) and Single Crystal XRD. The FTIR data identified functional groups such as OH, COO-, CH, C=C as well as Cu-O that confirm the formation of [Cu3(C9H3O6)2].3H2O{18H2O}. Clean peaks were observed by the XRD data for [Cu3(C9H3O6)2].3H2O{18H2O} which indicated that it was highly crystalline. The TGA data showed that [Cu3(C9H3O6)2].3H2O{18H2O} was thermally stable and could only be disintegrated at a temperature above 350oC. A cubic crystal octahedral morphology was identified for the SEM-EDS analysis . The single crystal data confirmed the cubic crystal geometry. The UV-visible adsorption data for TeRh and LGSF showed that the photocatalytic activity of [Cu3(C9H3O6)2].3H2O{18H2O} on LGSF and TeRh mineralization was found to be highly effective.
