The conducting thin film of charge - transfer salt based upon polyoxometalate[VW 5 O 19 ] 3- and bis(ethyl - enedithio) - tetrathiafulvalene(BEDT - TTF or ET)was fabricated on the gold substrate by electrochemical approach.The sub - micronic grains uniformly covering the gold plate was evidenced by scanning electron microscope(SEM).The film of charge - transfer salt exhibits semiconducting behavior with a room - temperature conductivity4.8 × 10 -3 S·cm -1 .
A photo-luminescent multilayer film based on Keggin-type polyoxometalate PMo 12O 3- 40 and transition metal complex tris(2,2-bipyridine) ruthenium [Ru(bpy) 3] 2+ was prepared by using layer-by-layer assembly(LBL). The formation of multilayer film was monitored by ultraviolet absorption spectra(UV). The absorption intensity of characteristic peaks increases with a four-layer cycle, indicating that the LBL assembly film grows linearly and reproducibly. The composition of the film was measured by X-ray photoelectron spectrum(XPS). The film exhibited photo-luminescence arising from π*-t 2g ligand-to-metal transition of Ru(bpy).
