Synthesis and characterization of Perylenemonoimide Polyoxometalate Hybrid

Abstract

A novel perylene covalently-attached polyoxometalate (POM) hybrid has been designed,

synthesized and characterized. Both perylene derivatives and POMs hybrids are known for

their interesting electronic and photophysical properties, thus attaching these two creates a

promising material for light harvesting applications. The study of this hybrid’s electron

transfer mechanism also may provide further knowledge for future research and

development of POMs and derivatives of POMs which have received increasing attention

over the past few decades.
