A new Mo 6 cluster complex and its silica and polyurethane composites have been synthesized and characterized. These materials are highly luminescent with emission above 650 nm, produce singlet oxygen with high efficiency, are photostable, and can be excited up to 580 nm. These properties are desirable for the construction of luminescent probes of oxygen, photoactive materials for oxidation reactions with easily separable active carriers, and bactericidal textile surfaces upon daylight irradiation.
