Abstract:
Three structurally new polyoxometalate-templated silver clusters, homometallic [(SiW9O34)@Ag24(PrS)11(DPPP)6Cl]2(SiW12O40) (Ag24), heterometallic [(SiW9O34)@Ag22Cu(PrS)11(DPPP)6Cl](SbF6)2 (Ag22Cu) and {Ag16(PrS)6(DPPP)8(CH3COO)4[Co4(OH)3(H2O)SiW9O33]2}·(CH3CN)4 (Ag16Co8) (PrS- = isopropanethiolate, DPPP = 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane, SbF6- = hexafluoroantimonate) have been successfully synthesized using a facile solvothermal approach. The introduction of copper and cobalt ions can induce obvious changes in the molecular configuration of the obtained clusters, leading to distinct temperature-dependent photoluminescence and photothermal conversion properties.
