Abstract

Group IIIA metal Al³⁺/Ga³⁺-capped {M₂(H₂O)[P₄Mo₆O₃₁]₂}-based phosphomolybdates were synthesized by adjusting the reducing agents, in which two [P₄Mo^VI₄Mo^V₂O₃₁]^8- half-units are joined in a face-to-face mode and are capped by two M³⁺/[M(H₂O)]³⁺ cations on both sides. This type of {M₂(H₂O)[P₄Mo₆O₃₁]₂} hybrids showed excellent photocatalytic activities in the Cr(VI) reduction reaction.
