A new radiation sensitive polyoxometalate/polymer hybrid, POM–MAPDST, has been synthesized from an Mn-Anderson cluster based hybrid and a UV active organic monomer and tested for its photo-response properties by fabricating an ITO/POM–MAPDST/Al device. This device showed improved I–V characteristics under illumination possibly due to the synergistic interactions between the polyoxometalate cluster and the organic components of the hybrid polymer.
