Abstract
The largest antimonomolybdate monomer, [Sb8MoVI13MoV5O66]5– (1-Sb8Mo18), has been isolated and displays a new breakthrough of polyoxometalates (POMs) with an ionothermal synthesis strategy. 1-Sb8Mo18 features the first hexanuclear sandwich-type polymolybdate (POMo) with an unexpected metal ring {Sb6O12} to make its debut in Sb clusters. Furthermore, 1-Sb8Mo18 exhibits a prominent catalytic activity for reducing nitrobenzene to aniline with excellent sustainability.
