Two novel bi-functional hybrid materials constructed from POMs and a Schiff base with excellent third-order NLO and catalytic properties†
Abstract
The first polyoxometalates modified by a porphyrin-resembling planar Schiff base have been successfully designed and synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. The third-order NLO responses indicated that they are excellent third-order NLO materials. Their catalytic performances are also investigated.
