Facile synthesis of a Ru-based polyoxometalate for efficient reduction of nitrobenzene
A non-classical Ru-based polyoxometalate, NaH<sub>2</sub>[{Ru<sup>IV</sup>(bpy)Cl}<sub>2</sub>O(PW<sub>11</sub>O<sub>39</sub>)]·10H<sub>2</sub>O (1), was successfully constructed from mono-vacant heteropolytungstates [PW<sub>11</sub>O<sub>39</sub>]<sup>7-</sup> and [Ru<sup>IV</sup>(bpy)Cl]<sup>3+</sup>. Compound 1 has strong light trapping ability, and the yield of aniline reduced from nitrobenzene under visible light (<i>λ</i> > 400 nm) can reach 99.8%. In addition, a range of extended experiments have demonstrated that compound 1 is an effective and stable heterogeneous catalyst in the reaction of nitrobenzene reduction.
