Three cases of aminobenzoic acid hybrid polyoxotungstates, Na(HO)[(HPWO) (OCCHNH)]·7HO (), K(HO)[(AsWO)(OCCHNH)]·4HO (), and [(HN(CH)]Na(HO)[(SbWO) (OCCHNH)]·7HO (), were successfully synthesized. This is the first report of the successful assembly of the hexanuclear {XW} (X = HP, As, or Sb) clusters and organic carboxylic acid (para aminobenzoic acid) ligands. All three hybrids feature a common {XW} unit composed of a six-membered {WO} octahedral ring capped by one {XO} trigonal pyramid.

Revealing the design and synthesis of precisely tailored crystalline catalysts for achieving efficient photocatalytic conversion of styrene into high-value-added products remains a challenging task. In this work, a highly stable crystalline polyoxovanadate functionalized by the dl-tartaric acid ligand H[VO(HO)(tart)]·HO [, tart = CHO] was successfully synthesized by conventional aqueous solution methods. The photocatalytic performance was evaluated for the photosynthesis of styrene oxide by employing an oxygen source as the oxidant in the visible light (>420 nm) conditions at room temperature with compound as a heterogeneous catalyst.

Directed synthesis of high-efficiency visible photoinduced Baeyer-Villiger oxidation catalysts is of primary significance. Here, the isopolymolybdate anion [β-MoO] is for the first time encapsulated with the photosensitive metalloligand [Ru(bpy)(Hdcbpy)] (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine; Hdcbpy = 2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'-dicarboxylic acid) to synthesize polyoxometalate@metal-organic frameworks, {(CdDMF)[Ru(bpy)(dcbpy)]([β-MoO])}·5DMF (Ru-Mo). The composite photocatalyst Ru-Mo not only has a light absorption of 700 nm but also shortens the photogenerated electron transfer distances and accelerates charge and proton transfer.

The functionalization of polyoxometalates with organic ligands provides a new-style strategy to accurately incorporate polyoxometalates with advanced functional organic moieties on their surfaces, the development of which has attracted increasing research interest due to the potential applications. A germanium tungstate Na(HO)[{Ru(bpy)}{WO(CO)}(GeWO)]·27HO (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) with two ligands covalently modified was triumphantly synthesized, using the conventional one-pot hydrothermal method. It was systematically characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), elemental analysis, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), powder diffraction (PXRD), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy.

The heteroanion (HA) component plays an important role in the templating of heteropolyoxometalate (HPA) structures, but polyoxometalates (POMs) formed from two different templates are rarely reported. Herein, we present a five-layer POM [HN(CH)]{[(HPO)WO][HPSbWO]}·16HO () prepared by two kinds of different HA templates. The multilayer heteropolyanion {[(HPO)WO][HPSbWO]} in consists of two trivacant diheteroatom-templated ([HPO] and [SbO]) [HPSbWO] subunits linked by one unusual [(HPO)WO] subcluster via twelve corner-sharing oxygen atoms.

Three unique dl-malic acid covalently modified tetra-Ln-implanted tellurotungstates [H(CH)]NaH[Ln(HO)WO(OH)(Mal)(B-α-TeWO)]·48HO [Ln = La (), Ce (), Pr (); HMal = dl-malic acid] were fabricated by reacting NaTeO, NaWO·2HO, Mal, and LnCl·6HO with dimethylamine hydrochloride in an aqueous solution. The most prominent architectural feature of these compounds is the covalent connection mode of an organic ligand and a polyoxometallate backbone, which is relatively rare in the realm of polyoxotungstates. The tetrameric polyanion can be deemed as four [TeWO] fragments fused together via an intriguing hexanuclearity [WO(OH)(Mal)Ln(HO)] cluster.
