摘要

A hybrid polyoxometalate-aminoazobenzene dye compound, (C12H12N3)(3)PW(12)O(40)2CH(3)CN (1) has been synthesized in CH3CN/H2O solution under conventional reaction conditions. The structure of 1 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and further characterized by IR spectroscopy, UV-vis spectra and diffuse reflectance spectra. The absorption edge of 1 is largely red-shifted compared to the pure polyoxoanions, due to the introduction of the dye cations, Photocatalytic studies indicated that compound 1 exhibits effective photocatalytic H-2 evolution activity under visible-light.
