Abstract

Hybrid polyoxometalate-porphyrin copolymeric films are obtained by the electro-oxidation of zinc octaethylporphyrin (ZnOEP) and zinc 5,15-dipyridinium octaethylporphyrin (5,15-ZnOEP(py)(2)(2+)) in the presence of the polyoxometalate [MnMo(6)O(18){(OCH(2))(3)CNHCO(4-C(5)H(4)N)}(2)](3-) (Py-POM-Py). These films allow the photocatalytic reduction of Ag(I)(2)SO(4) under visible irradiation in air in the presence of propan-2-ol at the 2D interface between water and the copolymeric films. The formation of metallic Ag(0) nanowires and triangular nanosheets is observed.
