Abstract

A new sandwich-type {Co6}-added polyoxotungstate, [Co(dien)2]{[Co(dien)(H2O)]2[Co(dien)]2[Co6(en)23OH)2(H2O)6(GeW8O31)2]}·5.5H2O (1), where dien=diethylenetriamine and en=ethylenediamine, was synthesized via hydrothermal reaction. The polyoxoanion of compound 1 was constructed by a belt-like {Co6} cluster core sandwiched by two {GeW8} units. 1 was characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, element analysis, IR spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) experiments, respectively. The electrochemical properties of 1 were explored by the cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique, and 1 exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity in nitrite reduction. CCDC: 2270995.
