Abstract

The synthesis, crystallographic analysis and full characterization of the Cu(I) complex-functionalized Anderson polyoxomolybdate anions (nBu4N)[MMo6O18((OCH2)3CNCH(C47H37N2P2OCu)2)] (M = Mn3+, Fe3+, Co3+) is reported. For the first time, direct crystallographic evidence for the covalent attachment of a photoactive metal complex to an organo-functionalized polyoxometalate is obtained. Initial electrochemical and photochemical studies report fundamental properties and solution stability of the compounds.
