Abstract
A new Keggin-type silicotungstate anion-supported organic-inorganic hybrid transition metal complex, [Zn(Bipy)3]1.5[SiW12O40Zn(Bipy)2(OH)] · 0.25H2O (I) (Bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine), has been synthesized by the hydrothermal method and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV, and EPR spectra, TG-DTA analysis, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The structural analysis indicates that each structural unit of I consists of one [SiW12O40Zn(Bipy)2(OH)]3− heteropolyanion, one and a half isolated [Zn(Bipy)3]2+ cations, and a quarter of crystal water molecule. The [Zn(Bipy)2(OH)]+ unit is covalently bonded to one Keggin polyoxoanion [SiW12O40]4− in the [SiW12O40Zn(Bipy)2(OH)]3− cluster. The EPR spectrum indicates the existence of Zn2+ with the high-spin state, and TG-DTA analysis exhibits that I has two steps of weight loss and the polyoxoanion framework is collapsed at 618°C.
