Abstract:
Background: Polyoxometalate (POM) clusters are molecular metal-oxide that
possess advantages in integrating functionalities at the molecular level.
Redox activity is key characteristic of the POMs where the electron-withdrawing
ability is changed accord-ing to environments that surroundings POMs. Achieving
switching phenomena of elec-tronic state of POMs are of great interest
for various applications.
Objective: It is of fundamental interest to develop switching of electronic
state of POMs by outer stimulus. For this purpose, we investigate the solvent
effect to electron-withdrawing ability of POM so as to coupling with macroscopic
electric property of the POM based salts.
Method: We have developed these characteristics of POMs to design CT system
by hybridizing with pyridyl-tetrathiafulvalene (TTFPy) molecule. TTFPy
was reacted with Ni(II) and [α-SiW12O40]4-, yielding a single crys-tal
with composition of [NiII(DMSO)5(TTFPy)]2[α-SiW12O40] (1). And we have
revealed that a single crystal of the compound turns crystal color from
orange (1) to black (1’) by immersing crystals in methanol. In this paper,
we newly analyses a structure of the single crystal 1 by X-ray diffraction
analysis in addition to investigation of this chemo-chromic characteristics
using varieties of organic solvent.
Results: It was revealed that solvent acceptor number was important to
consider the chromic in which transition from 1 to 1’ was induced with
organic solvents whose acceptor number was larger than 18. In addition,
electri-cal properties of both crystals and revealed that conductivity
was increased in 1’.
Conclusion: Our results show that solvent-induced chemo-chromic characteristics
were trig-gered by immersing crystals in a solvent. Other chemo-chromic
characteristics will be ex-plored by surrounding crystal in more ion rich
environment tuned by Li+ ions toward electrode materials for Li ion batteries,
for example. In addition, our findings reported here emphasize interest
and importance of POM-based hybrid in which grand state is not in CT state.
