Hybrid Organic–Inorganic Polyoxometalates: Functionalization of V^IV/V^V Nanosized Clusters to Produce Molecular Capsules

Ultra-large supramolecular coordination cages composed of endohedral Archimedean and Platonic bodies

“…In the last decades, the former class of compound received significant scientific attention5678910111213141516. Preparative efforts were primarily directed towards the synthesis of new cage topologies with controllable inner cavities whose chemical, geometrical and electronic attributes can give rise to space-restricted properties that are exploitable in catalytic processes561718, for separations1920, drug delivery21 and sensing2223.…”

A hexa-{MnIII–Schiff-base}-decorated cyclic polyoxovanadate as photocatalyst for dye degradation

“…In this field, polyoxometalates (POMs), as unique inorganic metal-oxo clusters with versatile structures, shapes, charges and sizes, have been used as excellent inorganic electron-donor ligands to assemble various organic-inorganic hybrid compounds with applications in catalysis, magnetism, optics and medicine. Great efforts have been devoted to the decoration of POMs with various organic and/or metal-organic moieties [2][3][4][5][6][7]. In this family, a brand new advance is using molecular design methods to decorate various transition metal complexes (TMCs) on POM surfaces or into POM carriers, inducing new hybrid compounds with intriguing structure topologies and multiple functionalities [8][9][10][11].…”

Influencing the Symmetry of High‐Nuclearity and High‐Spin Manganese Oxo Clusters: Supramolecular Approaches to Manganese‐Based Keplerates and Chiral Solids

“…[3] Mixed-valent, polynuclear Mn coordination compounds are excellent systems to investigate these structure-property relationships. [8] In the course of our research into hybrid polyoxovanadates, [9] we recently found that chloride ions can be applied as templates to direct the assembly of tetranuclear {V 4 } secondary building units (SBUs) resulting in a series of highnuclearity vanadium cages with controllable topologies. [6] Less-symmetrical polynuclear manganese species with high magnetic anisotropy often give rise to single-molecule magnet (SMM) properties and quantum behavior which might be applicable in next-generation information storage devices.…”
