Synthesis, structures and electrocatalytic properties of coordination polymers of 4,4′,4′′,4′′′-tetrakiscarboxyphenylsilane and 1,3,5-tris(2-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzene

Abstract

Coordination polymers based on H4tcps and tmib were synthesized, and the pristine crystals and thermal derivation composites were converted into their metal hydroxides and oxidized hydroxides in alkaline solution as OER catalysts.
