Multielectron-transfer reactions at single Cu(ii) centers embedded in polyoxotungstates driven by photo-induced metal-to-metal charge transfer from anchored Ce(iii) to framework W(vi)†
Abstract
Using carbon monoxide as a probe molecule for the oxidation state of Cu ions, we demonstrated that anchored polynuclear charge-transfer complexes consisting of CeIII ions and CuII-substituted Keggin-type polyoxotungstates function as efficient visible-light-driven multielectron-transfer
