Abstract:

Global energy consumption and concern with environmental contamination have led to an increased interest on the harvesting of solar energy to conduct chemical reactions that can provide cleaner sources of energy and raw materials or even neutralize hazardous chemicals. The combination of a zirconium metal-organic cluster and a Keggin type polyoxotungstate into a compound of formula [Zr63-O)43-OH)4(µ-OOCC6H5)8(H2O)8][SiW12O40] led to a chemically and photochemically stable material in which a synergistic effect between the metal-organic cluster and the polyoxometalate allows to markedly overpass the permanent porosity of the referential compounds, the hybrid material surpasses their methylene blue adsorption capacity (Zr6/W12-NP: 73 µg/mg; Cs/W12: 63 µg/mg; UiO-66: 16 µg/mg). Interestingly, the photochemical activity was also compromised to a the quantitative photodegradation of the dye in 4 h (k = 7.7·10–3 min–1), while the referential compounds did not exhibit any substantial activity toward the photooxidation of methylene blue.

Dear Author,

I wonder that can you obtain Metal organic clusters by commercially, or synthesize?

Thank you for your answer

Dear colleague, many POM (polyoxometalate) entities can be obtained commercially but the MOP entities are not commercially available

Thank you for your interest, the bicomponent nature of MOP-POM means that they are very tailorable materials , which also means that there are still a lot of room for the improvement of the materials with respect to their photocatalitic performance. The main disavantage of these materials is their highly insoluble nature that complocates the obtention of single crystals that could allow us to get an insight on the crystal structure of these materials.
