We are interested in the covalent attachment of organic and organometallic fragments to polyoxometalate-based hybrids to introduce photoactive antenna for performing solar energy conversion.   The electronic and photophysical properties of these new hybrids will be presented, including transient absorption spectroscopy which in some cases indicate the formation of long-lived charge separation states. These results will be compared with other systems where the metallic chromophore is directly inserted in the polyoxometalate.
