A novel organic-inorganic hybrid based on a dinuclear copper complex supported on a keggin polyoxometalate.
The autoassembly process of copper-oxalate dimers and Keggin type polyoxometalates leads to the first example of a new family of organic-inorganic hybrids, K(14)[(Cu(2)(bpy)(2)(mu-ox))(SiW(11)O(39)Cu(H(2)O))](2)[SiW(11)O(39)Cu(H(2)O)]. approximately 55H(2)O. This compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/m, a = 37.932(6) A, b = 21.303(3) A, c = 12.546(2) A, beta = 106.16(1) degrees, Z = 2. The crystal structure reveals the presence of a polymeric hybrid built up of alternating dimer and polyoxometalate entities.
