A series of novel organic–inorganic hybrids based on α-[AlW12O40]5− polyoxoanions and transition-metal organoamine complexes

Abstract

A series of novel organic–inorganic assemblies, {Ag3(2,2′-bipy)2(4,4′-bipy)2}{Ag(2,2′-bipy)2}{Ag(2,2′-bipy)}[AlW12O40]·H2O (1), [Ag(phen)2]3[Ag(phen)3][AlW12O40]·H5O2 (2) and {Co(2,2′-bipy)3}3{Co(H2O)(2,2′-bipy)2[AlW12O40]}2·H2O (3) (2,2′-bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine, 4,4′-bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) constructed from Keggin-type [AlW12O40]5− polyoxoanion and transition-metal organoamine subunits, have been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), electrochemical properties and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. A remarkable aspect of compound 1 is that there exists four types of coordination configurations for the five crystallographically independent Ag centers, and this phenomenon has never been observed in polyoxometalate (POM) chemistry. The trimeric {[Ag(phen)2]3}3+ cluster in compound 2 is firstly extended into an interesting one-dimensional wave-like array and then is further extended into a three-dimensional supramolecular network with the [AlW12O40]5−clusters residing in the interstices of this three-dimensional framework. The most striking structure feature of compound 3 is that three water molecules linearly arrange between the adjacent monosupporting {Co(H2O)(2,2′-bipy)2[AlW12O40]}3− anions, leading to the formation of the three-dimensional supramolecular network by weak interactions.
