Redox-controlled δ-Dawson {Mn2IIIW17} polyoxometalate with photocatalytic H2 evolution activity†
Abstract
A novel δ-Dawson [(WO5)3W14Mn2IIIO44Cl2]12− compound induced by the Jahn–Teller distortion of MnIII has been synthesized through utilizing {Mn12} as a reactant, which exhibits photocatalytic H2 evolution activity. Its electrochemical behavior and magnetic properties were investigated.
