A covalent polyoxomolybdate-based hybrid with remarkable electron reservoir properties

摘要

A new polyoxomolybdate-based hybrid platform TBA_4[PMo_(11)O_(39)-{Sn(p-C_6H_4I)}] is reported. The presence of a post-functionalisable iodo-aryl moiety allows the grafting of a ferrocenyl moiety onto the POM. The electrochemical characterisation shows the effect of molybdenum on the electron reservoir properties of POM-based hybrids, which are further enhanced upon the addition of an acid.
