Abstract:
A 3D organic-inorganic hybrid compound, (2-MepyH)3 [{Fe(1,10-phen)3}3][{Pr4Sb12O 18(OH) Cl11.5}(TDC)4.5({Pr4Sb 12O18(OH)Cl9.5} Cl)]×3 (2-Mepy)×28 H2O (1; 2-Mepy=2-methylpyridine, 1,10-phen=1,10-phenanthroline, H2TDC=thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid), was hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. Unusually, two kinds of high-nuclearity clusters, namely [(Pr4Sb12O18 (OH)Cl11)(COO)5]5- and [(Pr4Sb 12O18 (OH)Cl9)Cl(COO)5] 4-, coexist in the structure of compound 1; two of the latter clusters are doubly bridged by two μ2-Cl- moieties to form a new centrosymmetric dimeric cluster. An unprecedented spontaneous and reversible single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation was observed, which simultaneously involved a notable organic-ligand movement between the metal ions and an alteration of the bridging ion in the dimeric cluster, induced by guest-release/re-adsorption, thereby giving rise to the interconversion between compound 1 and the compound (2-MepyH)3[{Fe(1,10-phen) 3}3][{Pr4Sb12O18(OH) Cl11.5}(TDC)4({Pr4Sb12O 18Cl10.5(TDC)0.5(H2O) 1.5}O0.5)]× 25 H2O (1′). The mechanism of this transformation has also been discussed in great detail. Photocatalytic H2-evolution activity was observed for compound 1′ under UV light with Pt as a co-catalyst and MeOH as a sacrificial electron donor. Crystal clear: A new 3D organic-inorganic hybrid compound that contained a dimeric Pr-Sb-oxochloride cluster exhibited an unprecedented spontaneous and reversible single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation and photocatalytic H2-evolution activity (see figure). © 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
