Abstract:
Taking advantage of isopolymolybdate [(NH4)6Mo7O24·4H2O] as a POM building block with multidentate N-donor molecules (tris[(2-pyridyl)methyl]amine = TPMA, 1-(tetrazo-5-yl)-3-(triazo-1-yl)benzene = 1,3-ttb) as organic ligands, five different inorganic-organic hybrid compounds were synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy (IR) and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). Compound 1 is a Mo(vi)-based structure in which the TPMA ligand shows a tridentate coordination mode, which bears an uncoordinated pyridyl arm, and can further react with transition metals. Compound 2 exhibits a Cu(ii)-based zero-dimensional (0D) structure consisting of the TPMA ligand and [β-Mo8O26] polyanion. Compounds 3 and 4 have the same molecular formula with slight structural differences; both have the Co(ii)-based one-dimensional (1D) chain structure. Compared to the β-Mo8O26 polyanion in compound 3, the [Mo8O28]8- units condense via sharing two common terminal O atoms to form infinite [Mo8O26]n4n- chains in compound 4. Compound 5 is a Cu(ii)-based two-dimensional (2D) layer structure consisting of TPMA and 1,3-ttb mixed ligands and [β-Mo8O26]. In addition, the electrochemical properties and photocatalytic activities for the degradation of two types of organic dyes were explored for several compounds.

Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...
