In the present work, we report the synthesis of inorganic‐organic hybrid material of molecular formula( C 4 H 9 ) 4 N 2H 3Fe ( C 5 H 5 ) 22 PW 11 O 39· 7 H 2 O abbreviated as TBAFcPW 11 . This hybrid material has large surface area (142 m 2 g −1 ) and shows photocatalytic activity due to the synergistic effect of photoexcitation property of polyoxometalate cluster and Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ redox pair. It is a floating hybrid photocatalytic material capable of remediating organic pollutants, rhodamine B and p‐nitrophenol. Optimum conditions for photocatalytic degradation and extent of mineralization have been established by varying the reaction conditions and mineralization studies.
