Self-assembly of multiple components into well-defined and predictable structures remains one of the foremost challenges in chemistry. Here, upon subtle ligand variation, we reported on the assembly of three new polyoxometalate-based organic鈥搃norganic hybrid compounds with different helical channel, [Ag3(H2pyttz-I)2][PMo12O40] (1), [Ag6(H2pyttz-II)4][CoW12O40]路2H2O (2), and [Ag7(Hpyttz-II)3(H2pyttz-II)][GeW12O40]路7H2O (3) (H2pyttz-I/II = 4-/3-pyrid-5-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-1,2,4-triazolyl, POM = polyoxometalates). X-ray diffraction analysis shows that compound 1 is constructed by 鈥渂utterfly-like鈥?Ag5(H2pyttz-I)2 subunits and POMs clusters, which are assembled into close helical channels impregnated with the components selves. Both compounds 2 and 3 are constructed by 鈥減addle-wheel like鈥?Ag4(H2pyttz-II)4 motifs and POMs clusters, which bring into being the larger helical channels (10.5% and 12.5% of the cell volume, respectively). Note that the only difference in compounds 2 and 3 is that the former contains 1D metal鈥搊rganic chain structure, and the latter contains 2D metal鈥搊rganic layer structure. In addition, the photocatalytic degradation of RhB by these compounds was also investigated.
