Abstract

Two Fe-substituted Dawson-type nanoscale selenotungstate clusters, {Fe6Se6W34} and {Fe10Se8W62} involving {α-Se2W14} and {γ-Se2W14} building blocks, have been isolated, which exhibit photocatalytic H2 evolution activity. Their electrochemical behaviours and magnetic properties were also investigated.
