Anionic structure-controlled architecture with copper coordination cations and polyoxoanions and application to photocatalytic decolorization of dye waste water

Synthesis and crystal structure of an ionic compound consisting of decatungstate anion W10O324- and cupper coordination cations in the form of a cationic stacking column are reported. The effect of anions on the stacking pattern of the coordinating cations and crystal structure is discussed in combination with other compounds. Application of the compound to the photocatalytic decolorization of dye wastewater has also been tested and reported here.
