Sonogashira Cross-Coupling as a Route to Tunable Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Rods with a Polyoxometalate Backbone

A new diiodo-bifunctionalized Anderson-Evans polyoxometalate (TBA)(3)[MnMo6O18{(OCH2)(3)-CNHCO(C6H4-p-I)}(2)] (1; TBA = [(C4H9)(4)N](+)) was prepared and used as a new platform to generate tunable rigid-molecular rods (2a-2c) via Sonogashira cross-coupling. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of 1 and 2c reveals that they are type B Anderson-Evans structures with molecular lengths of 23 and 38 angstrom, respectively.
