Mesostructured molecular solid material |Co(en)(3)|(Zr(2)F(11)H(2)O) with enhanced photoelectronic effect.
A novel molecular solid material |Co(en)(3)|(Zr(2)F(11)H(2)O) containing a H-bonded assembly of [Zr(4)F(22)O(2)](10-) and [Co(en)(3)](3+) ions was synthesized. Moreover, we demonstrated the successful preparation of this molecular solid with a mesostructured framework using a triblock co-polymer P123 (PEO-PPO-PEO) as the structure directing agent under acidic conditions. A study on its photoelectronic property revealed that the mesostructured molecular solid material significantly enhanced the photoelectronic conversion compared to that of its bulk counterpart, which may be attributed to a remarkable increase of the density of accessible optically active sites in the mesostructured molecular solid material.
