Abstract

A new Zr-substituted polyoxotungstate, [H2N(CH3)2]11KNa5H7[Zr4K2(β-GeW10O38)2(A-α-PW9O34)2]·39H2O (1), has been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectrum, UV–vis diffuse-reflectance spectrum, elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, ICP-MS test and thermogravimetric analysis. The prominent feature of 1 is that mixed Keggin-type dilacunary [β-GeW10O38]12− fragment and trilacunary [A-α-PW9O34]9− fragment construct the basic framework of 1. And 1 displays special 1D double-chain and 2D thick layer formed by K+/Na+ ions. 1 exhibits well electrocatalytic behavior in the reduction of BrO3. Also, the experimental results of catalytic oxidation of representative thioethers manifest that 1 possesses a good catalytic capacity.
