A triol-functionalized 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy) derivative has been synthesized and used for the tris-alkoxylation of polyoxometalate (POM) precursors. The resultant POM-bpy conjugates of the Wells-Dawson- and Anderson-type feature a C-C bond as a linkage between the POM and bpy fragments. This structural motif is expected to increase the hydrolytic stability of the compounds This is of particular relevance with respect to the application of POM-bpy metal complexes, as photocatalysts, in the hydrogen-evolution reaction (HER) in an aqueous environment. Accordingly, Rh(III) and Ir(III) complexes of the POM-bpy ligands have been prepared and characterized. These catalyst-photosensitizer dyads have been analyzed with respect to their electrochem. and photophys. properties. Cyclic and square-wave voltammetry, as well as UV/vis absorption and emission spectroscopy, indicated a negligible electronic interaction of the POM and metal-complex subunits in the ground state. However, emission-quenching experiments suggested an efficient intramol. electron-transfer process from the photo-excited metal centers to the POM units to account for the non-emissive nature of the dyads (thus, suggesting a strong interaction of the subunits in the excited state). In-depth photophys. investigations, as well as a functional characterization, i.e., the applicability in the HER reaction, are currently ongoing.
