Abstract
A new polyoxometalate (POM)-based compound, {[CuI(bipy)]2[MoV2MoVI6O24]}·H2O (bipy = 4,4’ -bipyridine) was hydrothermally synthesized, and characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR spectrum, Powder X-Ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and single X-ray diffraction. A structural feature of compound 1 is its unprecedented octamolybdate (Mo8) aggregate chain, which was formed via edge-sharing four distorted [MoO6] octahedra of neighbouring Mo8 clusters. An other fascinating structural features of compound 1 is its high-opened framework with rhombic channels constructed by linkages of Mo8 aggregate chains and Cu-bipy coordinated chains. Furthermore, compound 1 exhibits reversible water sorption capability.
