Employing the ionothermal synthesis approach, three new transition-metal-containing polyoxotungstate hybrids: [Dmim]{sub 2}Na{sub 3}[SiW{sub 11}O{sub 39}Fe(H{sub 2}O)].H{sub 2}O (Dmim=1,3-Dimethylimidazole) (1), [Emim]{sub 9}Na{sub 8}[(SiW{sub 9}O{sub 34}){sub 3}{l_brace}Fe{sub 3}(mu{sub 2}-OH){sub 2}(mu{sub 3}-O){r_brace}{sub 3}(WO{sub 4})].0.5H{sub 2}O (Emim=1-Ethyl-3-meth-ylimidazole) (2) and [Dmim]2[HMim]Na{sub 6}[(AsW{sub 9}O{sub 33}){sub 2}{l_brace}Mn{sup III}(H{sub 2}O){r_brace}{sub 3}].3H{sub 2}O (Dmim=1,3-Dimethylimidazole; Mim=1-Methylimidazole) (3) have been synthesized in 1-ethyl-3-methyl imidazolium bromide ([Emim]Br) ionic liquids (ILs). Compound 1 possesses a 3-D open framework constructed from the mono-iron{sup III}-substituted alpha-Keggin-type anion and the organic cations [Dmim]+ through the hydrogen bond interactions. Compound 2 contains a [{l_brace}Fe{sup III}{sub 3}(mu{sub 2}-OH){sub 2}(mu{sub 3}-O){r_brace}{sub 3}(mu{sub 4}-WO{sub 4})] cluster surrounded by three [SiW{sub 9}O{sub 34}]{sup 10-} ligands, eight sodium cations and nine dissociative [Emim]{sup +} cations around the polyoxoanion. The polyoxoanion of 3 consists of a high-valent trinuclear-manganese (III)-substituted sandwiching polyoxoanion based on the [alpha-AsW{sub 9}O{sub 33}]{sup 9-} units. All the compounds are characterized by elemental analyses, IR, UV-vis spectra, TG-DTA and XRD analyses. The XPS and EPR spectra of Mn{sup III} in 3 were studied. The photocatalytic and electrocatalytic properties, as well as the stabilities of 1-3 were also investigated. - Graphical abstract: Three new transition-metal-containing polyoxotungstate hybrids were synthesized successfully under the ionothermal condition, which proves that the ionothermal synthesis is a suitable synthetic method for different kinds of polyoxometalates.
