Preparation of a porphyrin-polyoxometalate hybrid and its photocatalytic degradation performance for mustard gas simulant 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide

By combining 5,10,15,20-tetra(4-chlorine)phenylporphyrin (TClPP) and α-Keggin polyoxometalate H5PV2Mo10O40 (H5PVMo) via a simple ion-exchange method, an organic-inorganic hybrid material [C44H28N4Cl4]1.5[H2PMo10V2O40]·2C2H6O (H2TClPP-H2PVMo) was prepared and thoroughly characterized by a variety of techniques. The homogeneous photocatalytic degradation of 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES) (5 μL) by H2TClPP-H2PVMo (1 × 10?6 mol/L) was studied in methanol and methanol-water mixed solvent (v/v = 1:1), in which the degradation rate of CEES reached 99.52% and 99.14%, respectively. The reaction followed first-order reaction kinetics, and the half-life and kinetic constant in methanol and the mixed solvent were respectively 33.0 min, ?0.021 min?1 and 15.7 min, ?0.043 min?1. Mechanism analysis indicated that under visible light irradiation in the air, CEES was degraded via oxidation and alcoholysis/hydrolysis in methanol and the mixed solvent. O2·? and 1O2 generated by H2TClPP-H2PVMo selectively oxidized CEES into a nontoxic sulfoxide. Singlet oxygen capture experiments showed that H2TClPP-H2PVMo (? = 0.73) had a higher quantum yield of singlet oxygen than TClPP (? = 0.35) under an air atmosphere and visible light irradiation.
