In this study, 2 (3), 9 (10), 16 (17), 23 (24)-tetrakis-(8-quinoline-oxy) phthalocyanine zinc(II) (ZnQPc) was prepared and then quaternized to obtain water soluble zinc phthalocyanine (ZnQPc⁴⁺). Then, ZnQPc⁴⁺ was used as a photosensitizer for a series of POM catalysts, including Dawson type K₆[α-P₂W₁₈O₆₂]·14H₂O (P₂W₁₈) and K₁₀[α-P₂W₁₇O₆₁]·20H₂O (P₂W₁₇) and Keggine type H₃PW₁₂O₄₀·xH₂O (PW₁₂). The Keggin type PW₁₂ showed higher efficiency with 18.2 μmol of H₂ evolution (turnover number (TON) = 14,550) for 6 h upon ZnQPc⁴⁺ sensitization in relation to two Dawson P₂W₁₇ and P₂W₁₈ in a visible light–driven water-soluble system with isopropanol and H₂PtCl₆·6H₂O. In addition, the complexes of ZnQPc⁴⁺ with a series of POM catalysts (P₂W₁₇, P₂W₁₈, and PW₁₂) were also used as photocatalysts for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) in water, and it was found that the complexes of ZnQPc⁴⁺ with P₂W₁₇ and PW₁₂ showed improved photocatalytic activity, and the degradation rates of MB reached 100% at a small dosage under natural pH and visible light. The high efficacy of POM catalysts for H₂ evolution and the degradation of MB were attributed to the sensitization of POMs by ZnQPc⁴⁺, which was enabled by the transfer of photogenerated electrons of ZnQPc⁴⁺ to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of POM.
