Abstract
Polyoxometallates act as electon relays in a photocatalytic process that in volves POM/S/Mn+ (POM = polyoxometallates PW12O403-, SiW12O404- and P2Mo18O 626-; S = organic substrate and Mn+ = metal ions Ag+, Cu2+, Pd2+ and Ni2+). By a suitable choice of POM and, to a lesser extent, organic substrate, se lective photocatalytic reduction of metal ions in aqueous solutions can be achieved.
