Synthesis and characterization of a novel inorganic-organic hybrid material based on polyoxometalates and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide

摘要

Towards design and synthesis of bulky molecules and molecular machines, we reported a new inorganic organic hybrid material based on polyoxometalates and 1, 3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC): (Bu4N)(2)[V6O13{(OCH2)(3)CCH2OOCCH2CH2CON(C6H11)CONHC6H11)(2)]. The hybrid was characterized by FTIR, H-1 NMR, UV-Vis, ESI-MS, and the structure of the compound was determined through single crystal X-ray diffraction. There was an interesting supramolecular assembly in the hybrid material through intermolecular hydrogen bonding, and each cyclohexyl in the polymer looks like one of blades in the propeller. Furthermore, the thermal stability of the hybrid was tested by TGA analyses, and the electrochemical property has also been studied by cyclic voltammogram. (C) 2017 Published by Elsevier B.V.
