Two Bisupporting Keggin-Type POM-Based Hybrids Decorated by [Zn(phen)2]2+ Fragments.

Two bisupporting Keggin-type polyoxoanion-based hybrids decorated by [Zn(phen) 2] 2+ complexes, [Zn(phen) 2] 2(PW 11VIW VO 40) ( 1) and K[Zn(phen) 2(H 2O)] 2(OH) (SiW 12O 40) ·H 2O ( 2) (phen = 1,10′-phenanthroline), have been hydrothermally synthesized, and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, UV–Vis spectrum, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermogravimetric analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structural analyses reveal that compound 1 consists of a 0D bisupporting Keggin-type heteropoly blue cluster obtained by using reductant glucose, which is grafted by two [Zn(phen) 2] 2+ fragments; compound 2 presents a 1D infinite chain, which is constructed from bisupporting [SiW 12O 40] 4− polyoxoanions decorated by [Zn(phen) 2(H 2O)] 2+ fragments and K + ions. Additionally, the electrochemical behaviors of two compounds were studied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
