By combination of heteropolymolybdates and metal–Schiff-base complexes, two new organic–inorganic hybrid compounds {Mn(salen)2(H2O)2[AlMo6(OH)6O18]}[arg]·16H2O (1) and {Mn(salen)2(H2O)2[CrMo6(OH)6O18]}[arg]·11H2O (2) (salen = N,N′-ethylene-bis(salicylideneiminate) have been successfully isolated. Compounds 1 and 2 were structurally characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra, thermogravimetric analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. To the best of our knowledge, compounds 1 and 2 represent the first single-crystal structures of metal–Schiff-base decorated polyoxometalates (POMs) compounds. Photocatalytic experiments indicated that both 1 and 2 exhibit high catalytic activity for photodegradation of RhB with UV irradiation. In addition, the magnetic properties of 1 were also investigated.
