A gigantic polyoxozirconate with visible photoactivity†
Abstract
We present a gigantic polyoxozirconate nanocluster (Zr18O21(μ2-OH)2(OOCPh)28), involving 6, 7 and 8-coordinated Zr atoms. It exhibits visible light driven photocatalytic activity for H2 evolution. The current results could represent a prelude of polyoxozirconate-based photocatalysis.
