A novel 2D nickel coordination polymer based on Trimesic acid with glyphosate coordination capabilities by João M. R. Gonçalves, Ademar Wong, Pedro H. O. Santiago, Guilherme Arroyos, Augusto H. Piva, Javier A. Ellena, Benedito S. Lima-Neto, Regina C. G. Frem

“…Finally, the bidentate molecule Glyphosate (GLY), widely used as a pesticide and recognized as an environmental pollutant, was employed for coordination with Ni-BTC, as in this structure, the axial DMF ligands are labile and can be replaced by glyphosate molecules. This coordination capability was demonstrated by Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD) and Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), along with electrochemical techniques such as Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Square Wave Voltammetry (SWV), thus confirming glyphosate coordination in Ni-BTC, with potential applications in detection and removal systems. …”
