Abstract

Two octamolybdate-based inorganic-organic hybrid complexes constructed from rigid mmt ligand and flexible ttmb ligand respectively (mmt = 5-mercapto-1-methyltetrazole, ttmb = 1,3,5-tri(1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)-2,4,6- trimethylbenzene), namely, [Ag8(H2O)2(mmt) 4(β-Mo8O26)] (1), Ag4(ttmb) 2(β-Mo8O26) (2), have been successfully synthesized. Crystal structural analysis reveals that compound 1 is built up of [β-Mo8O26]4- clusters covalently linked by Ag-mmt metal organic layers, which possess interesting hexa-nuclear Ag clusters. In compound 2, the wave-like Ag-ttmb layers are linked by 1D Ag-[β-Mo8O26]4- chains to form a 3D framework. The electrochemical behavior of 1-2 and the luminescent property of 2 were investigated.
