8-Co-Containing Polyoxomolybdate for CO<sub>2</sub> Photoreduction Reaction
An S-shaped 8-Co-containing polyoxomolydate (NH<sub>4</sub>)<sub>4</sub>Cs<sub>6</sub>H<sub>8</sub>[Co<sub>2</sub>{Co<sub>3</sub>(OH)(H<sub>2</sub>O)(VMo<sub>12</sub>O<sub>42</sub>)(VMo<sub>7</sub>O<sub>28</sub>)}<sub>2</sub>]·60H<sub>2</sub>O (<b>1</b>) was obtained by the one-pot reaction. Compound <b>1</b> adopts a triple-sandwich configuration, comprising two equivalent asymmetric sandwich-type tri-Co-containing {Co<sub>3</sub>(OH)(H<sub>2</sub>O)(VMo<sub>12</sub>O<sub>42</sub>)(VMo<sub>7</sub>O<sub>28</sub>)} units and a di-Co core linker. In particular, the {VMo<sub>12</sub>O<sub>42</sub>} segment adopts a unique petal-like architecture and represents a previously unreported structural subunit in polyoxometalate chemistry, thereby expanding the structural diversity of the molybdovanadate family. This study provides the first systematic investigation of molybdovanadates as catalysts for light-driven CO<sub>2</sub> reduction. This work not only enhances structural diversity of TM-substituted sandwich-type POMs but also exemplifies their potential for catalytic applications.
