In this article, the characterization, synthesis, as well as the photocatalysis
dye degradation performance of two novel
silver(I) coordination
polymers, namely, [Ag(L)(Hbdc)]n (1, L = 1,4-Bis(5,6-dimethylbenzimidazol-1-yl)
butane, H2bdc = 1,4-Benzenedicarboxylic
acid) and [Ag2(L)(hip)]n (2, H2hip = 5-Hydroxyisophthalic
acid), were investigated. Fascinatingly, the photocatalytic performance of Complexes 1 and 2 have been investigated, wherein Complex 2 is considered an excellent photocatalyst for degrading
Rhodamine B/
methyl violet/
methylene blue mixed organic
dyes. Furthermore, the treatment activities of Complexes 1 and 2 on
Tic disorder (TD) were assessed when used with
haloperidol, and biochemical studies were conducted to reveal the mechanism in detail. Initially, the
enzyme-linked
immunosorbent assay was carried out to determine the
dopamine and high
vanillic acid contents in the striatum of the TD animal model. Subsequently, the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was utilized to determine the relative expression of
dopamine 1 and 2 receptor.
