Acentric Zn3Sb4CO6F6 has been synthesized by a hydrothermal technique. Single crystal X-ray diffraction study reveals that it crystallizes in cubic symmetry with = 8.1480 (5) Å and Z 2 (I4̅3 m). The carbon atom tetrahedral coordination Sb, either as an ordered structure at the center of tetrahedron or disordered displaced toward three Sb atoms; latter model leads to more acceptable Sb-C interatomic distances. established first multifunctional [M-L-C-O-F] compound, exceptional properties, i.e., photocatalyst, adsorbent, catalyst for organic reactions, antibacterial agent. This compound successfully degraded 89.5% 50 mg/L methylene blue dye under solar illumination. It was also proved be proficient adsorbent Cr(VI) removal qmax 47.18 mg/g. activity investigated "agar cup assay" against both Gram-positive Gram-negative bacterial strains. functions excellent solvent-free Knoevenagel condensation reaction, than 90% yield. Theoretical investigations further exhibits direct band gap energy 1.76 eV, which is consistent experimental findings. characterized through fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, powder diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission selected area study.
