title: A novel sandwich-type polyoxometalate compound with visible-light photocatalytic H2 evolution activity.
abstract: A tin(II) tungstosilicate derivative K(11)H[Sn(4)(SiW(9)O(34))(2)]·25H(2)O with four sandwiched Sn(2+) cations was prepared by reaction of SnCl(2), KCl and Na(10)[α-SiW(9)O(34)]·xH(2)O. Visible-light photocatalytic H(2) evolution activity was observed with Pt nanoparticles as co-catalyst and methanol as sacrificial agent.
