Two novel Anderson-type polyoxometalate based MnIII complexes constructed from pyrene derivatives: Synthesis, photophysical, and electrochemical properties

Symmetrical chloride-functionalized Anderson type POM afterwards used as a building block for onward POM post-functionalization with organic pyrene compounds and two novel organic-inorganic hybrid pyrene-POM compounds were designed, synthesized, and fully characterized. Photophysical and electrochemical properties of these compounds were investigated. Organic-inorganic hybrids retained the unique photophysical properties of their precursor pyrene compounds. Additionally, functionalization of inorganic POM moiety with organic bis-pyrene compound influenced the redox properties of the Mn-Anderson core.
