Heterometallic lead-iodocuprate hybrids with transition-metal complexes: syntheses, structures, photoelectricity and photocatalysis

Ternary Pb-iodocuprate hybrids [TM(en) 3 ]PbCuI 5 [TM = Mn (1), Fe (2), Ni (3)] were prepared using TM( ii )-en complexes as SDAs via a one-pot solvothermal reaction. 1 and 2 exhibited higher catalytic activities than 3 in the photodegradation of CV.
