Three Viologen Compounds Containing Keggin and Mo-Capped Weakley Polyoxometalates: Photo-/Thermo-/Electro-Chromic Studies
Multiresponsive
color-changing materials have important applications
in daily life. In this work, three photochromic, thermochromic, and
electrochromic compounds were synthesized by introducing two kinds
of polyoxometalates into the viologen system, namely, {[Ni(dibipy)(4,4′-bipyH)(H2O)3]·[Ni4(H2O)2Ge2Mo18O68(MoO2)2]0.5}·10H2O (1), {[NiII(nibipy)2(4,4′-bipy)(H2O)2]·(SiMo12O40)}·2H2O (2), and [(Hnibipy)2·(SiMo12O40)]·2.5H2O (3) (dibipy·Cl
= 1-(3,5-dimethyl-isoxazol-4-ylmethyl)-[4,4’]bipyridinyl-1-ium
chloride, nibipy·Cl = 1-(4-Nitro-benzyl)-[4,4’]bipyridinyl-1-ium
chloride and 4,4′-bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine). Compound 1 contains the Mo-capped weakley anion [Ni4(H2O)2(Ge2Mo18O68(MoO2)2]8–, which is very
rare in polyoxometalates. Both 1 and 2 own
mixed organic ligands to modify anions, such as viologen and 4,4′-bipy.
Compounds 1 and 3 exhibit fast responsive
photochromic effects, while compound 2 has rapid recovery
of thermochromic properties. Sandwich-type rigid devices based on
compounds 1–3 also exhibit electrochromic
properties. In addition, hydrogels and poly(methyl methacrylate)-based
mixed matrix membrane systems were introduced to achieve portable
visual UV detectors. The applications of these compounds in metal
ion detection and anticounterfeiting were also studied
A Series of POM–Viologen Photo-/Electrochromic Hybrids and Hydrogels Acting as Multifunctional Sensors for Detecting UV, Hg<sup>2+</sup>, and Organic Amines
In this work, POM anions were introduced into the viologen
system
in order to synthesize POM–viologen hybrid compounds with excellent
properties. Three new POM–viologen compounds, {CdII(tybipy)(DMF)2[β-Mo8O26]0.5Cl} (1), {CoII(tybipy)2(DMF)2[H2(β-Mo8O26)]2}·4C2H7N (2), and (tybipy)4·(β-Mo8O26) (3) (tybipy·Br = 1-thiophen-3-ylmethyl-[4,4′]bipyridinyl-1-ium
bromide), have been prepared by a solvothermal method, and their structures
were characterized. POM anions are modified by mixing organic ligands
with transition metals in compounds 1 and 2. However, compound 3 is a supramolecular structure
constructed by hydrogen bonding interactions between the dissociative
viologen and POM anions. These three compounds have rapid photoresponse
and photochromic ability, which can be made into mixed matrix membranes
and hydrogels for UV detection. The rigid sandwich devices prepared
by compounds 1–3 have achieved ultrafast
electrochromism and recovery. In addition, photochromic hydrogels
based on compounds 1–3 can achieve
ultrafast photochromic recovery. Compounds 1–3 can be used in ink-free printing and Hg2+ fluorescence
detecting. Compounds 1 and 2 can also be
used as organic amine detectors. Combined with photochromism and fluorescence
detection of Hg2+, visual test papers for Hg2+, Cu2+, and Co2+ were successfully realized,
which can improve the portability and detection speed of heavy metal
ions in the actual environment
