Abstract

A unique polyoxometalate complex made up of a tetradecanuclear nickel bisphosphonate cluster capping a {SiW9} unit has been characterized. This stable compound exhibits a high hydrogen evolution reaction photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation via a reductive quenching mechanism.
