An unprecedented fully reduced {Mo^V ₆₀} polyoxometalate: from an all-inorganic molecular light-absorber model to improved photoelectronic performance.

ABSTRACT: Fully reduced polyoxometalates are predicted to give rise to a broad and strong absorption spectrum, suitable energy levels, and unparalleled electronic and optical properties. However, they are not available to date. Here, an unprecedented fully reduced polyoxomolybdate cluster, namely Na₈[Mo^V ₆₀O₁₄₀(OH)₂₈]·19H₂O {Mo^V ₆₀}, was successfully designed and obtained under hydrothermal conditions, which is rare and is the largest fully reduced polyoxometalate reported so far. The Mo^V ₆₀ molecule describes one Keggin {ε-Mo₁₂} encapsulated in an unprecedented {Mo₂₄} cage, giving rise to a double truncated tetrahedron quasi-nesting architecture, which is further face-
