A new decatungstate incorporated metal-organic framework {[Co2（bpdo）5（H2O）n- W10O32]}n·nbpdo·2nH2O（1, bpdo = 4,4＇-bis（pyridine-N-oxide） has been synthesized through a one-step hydrothermal reaction and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, solid UV-vis absorption spectra, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structural analysis indicates that 1 displays a one-dimensional ladder structure with [W10O32]4- as guest incorporated by electrostatic interaction. The photocatalytic property of the framework toward a rhodamine B （RhB） solution was also investigated. The results indicated that compound 1 possesses high photocatalytic activity in heterogeneous system under sunlight irradiated.

Preparation and Photocatalytic Application of the Microporous Decatungstate,Na_4W_(10)O_(32)/SiO

The photochemical behavior of polyoxometalates（POMs）have been studied extensivelyIn homogeneous solutions［1-3]．However，the major drawback to the practical applications ofthe homogeneous systems is the high water solubility of POMs，which impedes the readyrecovery and the reuse of the photocatalysts．Therefore，the preparation of insoluble POMs Isconsidered．More recently，we haveprepared insoluble POMs，i．e，Keggin－type microporousPOMs，H3PW12O40／SiO2 or H4SiW12O40／SiO2，and paratungstate A－containing pillaredcompound，Mg12Al6（OH）36（W7O24）·4H2O，for the purpose of photo－oxidation of aqueous

Decatungstate as a direct hydrogen atom transfer photocatalyst for synthesis of trifluromethylthioesters from aldehydes

We have developed a versatile,mild protocol for trifluoromethylthiolation reactions of aldehydes with catalysis by a decatungstate hydrogen atom transfer photocatalyst under redox-neutral conditions.The protocol is highly selective,operationally simple,and compatible with a wide array of sensitive functional groups.It can be used for late-stage functionalization of bioactive molecules,which makes it convenient for drug discovery.

Heterogeneous Photooxidation of Phenol by Catalytic Membranes

In this work the heterogenization in polymeric membranes of decatungstate,a photocatalyst for oxidation reactions,was reported.Solid state characterization techniques confirmed that the catalyst structure was preserved within the polymeric membranes.The catalytic membranes were successfully applied in the aerobic photo-oxidation of phenol,one of the main organic pollutants in wastewater,providing stable and recyclable photocatalytic systems.The dependence of the phenol degradation rate by the catalyst loading and transmembrane pressure was shown.By comparison with homogeneous reaction,the catalyst heterogenized in membrane appears to be more efficient concerning the rate of phenol photodegradation and mineralization.
