Abstrakt: Fully reduced polyoxometalates are predicted to give rise to a broad and strong absorption spectrum, suitable energy levels, and unparalleled electronic and optical properties. However, they are not available to date. Here, an unprecedented fully reduced polyoxomolybdate cluster, namely Na 8 [Mo V 60 O 140 (OH) 28 ]·19H 2 O {Mo V 60 }, was successfully designed and obtained under hydrothermal conditions, which is rare and is the largest fully reduced polyoxometalate reported so far. The Mo V 60 molecule describes one Keggin {ε-Mo 12 } encapsulated in an unprecedented {Mo 24 } cage, giving rise to a double truncated tetrahedron quasi-nesting architecture, which is further face-capped by another four {Mo 6 } tripods. Its crystalline stability in air, solvent tolerance, and photosensitivity were all shown. As a cheap and robust molecular light-absorber model possessing wide light absorption, Mo V 60 was applied to build a co-sensitized solar cell photoelectronic device along with N719 dyes and the optimal power conversion efficiency was 28% higher than that of single-dye sensitization. These results show that Mo V 60 polyoxometalate could serve as an ideal model for the design and synthesis of all-inorganic molecular light-absorbers for other light-driven processes in the future.
