Abstract: Four POM-based inorganic-organic hybrid compounds, which are {[(Cu·L1’·H2O)·(α-Mo8O26)0.5]·H2O}n (1), {(Cu·L2’·H2O)·(α-Mo8O26)0.5}n (2), {[(Cu·L3’·H2O)·(β-Mo8O26)0.5]·5H2O}n (3), {(Cu·L4’·H2O)·(β-Mo8O26)}n (4)[L1’ = 1,5-bis (4-carboxylpyridine) pentane dibromide, L2’ = 1,7-bis (4-carboxylpyridine) heptane dibromide, L3’ = 1,2-bis [(4-carboxylpyridine) - N-methylene] benzene dibromide, L4’ = 1,4-bis [(4-carboxylpyridine) - N-methylene] benzene dibromide] have been successfully synthesized under hydrothermal conditions by tuning ligands. Compounds 1–4 were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, infrared spectrum (IR), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and thermogravimetric (TG). The transformation of ligands have a momentous effect on the [Mo8O26]4 - structures of this series. In addition, the adsorption and photocatalytic properties of organic dyes for compounds 1–4 have been investigated.
