Abstract
A 3-D mono-copperII substituted silicotungstate [Cu(dap)2(H2O)]2[Cu(dap)2][α-SiW11CuO39]·2H2O (1) has been hydrothermally synthesized by reaction of Na10[A-α-SiW9O34]·18H2O, CuCl2·2H2O, LaCl3 and dap (dap=1,2-diaminopropane) and characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectrum, thermogravimetric (TG) analysis, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. To our knowledge, 1 represents the first 3-D four-connected framework with the Schläfli symbol of 64·8·10 that is built by mono-copperII substituted silicotungstate units in polyoxometalate chemistry. The TG curve of 1 indicates two steps of weight loss between 25 and 750°C. Furthermore, the solid-state electrochemical and electro-catalytic properties of 1 have been measured in 0.5mol·L−1 Na2SO4+H2SO4 aqueous solution by entrapping it in a carbon paste electrode. 1 displays evident electro-catalytic activities toward the nitrite and bromated reduction.
