Dawson-type polyoxometalate-based oligomeric Hg(II)-acetylide hybrid: Synthesis, characterization and materials properties

A new synthesis scheme for preparing Dawson-type polyoxometalate (POM) based oligomeric Hg(II) acetylide inorganic-organic hybrid compound (OHgOD) was prepared. This method provides a rigid covalent linkage between the POM and the organometallic Hg(II) acetylide moiety. The material properties of hybrid LB film derived from the hybrid were studied.160
