Abstract
A new dimer polyoxoniobate [Cu(en)2]11K4Na2[KNb24O72H9]2·120H2O (1) has been synthesized and systematically characterized. Visible light photocatalytic H2 evolution activity was researched with 1 as the visible-light photosensitizer and catalyst, cobaloximes [CoIII(dmgH)2pyCl] as the co-catalysts, and triethylamine (TEA) as the sacrificial electron donor.
