An α‐{P2W18O62}6–‐Based Supramolecular Hybrid Inorganic‐Organic Compound with Visible Light‐Driven Photocatalytic Properties

The α-[P2W18O62]6–-based coordination polymer [Cu2(phen)3(H2O)3(P2W18O62)][Cu(phen)2(H2O)]·5H2O (1) (phen = phenanthroline), was hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, IR and UV/Vis diffuse reflection spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Structural studies reveal that compound 1 exhibits a three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular structure based on π–π and hydrogen bonding interactions. In addition, visible light driven photocatalytic experiments of compound 1 were also studied.
