摘要

An unusual Cd-substituted sandwich-type polyoxomolybdate cluster {Mo20Cd2}, namely, [Cd(H(2)ttb)(H2O) Mo10O32(ttb)](2).3H(2)O (1) has been synthesized under hydrothermal condition (ttb = 1,3,5-tris(1,2,4-triazol-1ylmethyl)-2,4,6-trimethyl benzene). Its structure has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and further characterized by elemental analysis, IR and TG. In 1, two decademolybdates are functionalized by ttb organic groups, which are further linked into a sandwich-type polyoxometalate cluster {Mo20Cd2} via two [Cd(H2O)(H(2)ttb)](4+) cations. The solid state photoluminescent property of 1 was investigated at room temperature. In addition, its photocatalytic performance for methylene blue (MB) has also been studied under UV irradiation.
