Mechanistic insights into template-driven polyoxovanadate self-assembly: the role of internal and external templates

Abstract

The self-assembly of molecular metal oxides, polyoxometalates (POMs), can be controlled using internal or, more rarely, external templates. Here, we explore how the interplay between internal templates (halides, oxoanions) and...

Transient and elusive intermediate states in self‐assembly processes: An overview

“…In the realm of complex self-assembly systems, Repp et al [163] focused on the self-assembly of polyoxovanadates (POVs), emphasizing the crucial role of both internal (e.g., halides, oxoanions) and external (e.g., organic) templates in influencing the formation and structure of POV clusters. Internal templates play a role in defining the core structure of the POVs.…”

Controlling the structural and adsorption features of polyoxovanadate-based metal–organic clusters by adjustable template effect

“…[7][8][9][10][11][12] As an important group of POM-MOCs, the chemistry of polyoxovanadate-based MOCs (POV-MOCs) has experienced rapid development over the past decades. 8,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] According to the nature of organic ligands, POV-MOCs can be roughly divided into two sub-categories, namely, polycarboxylate-based POV-MOCs (POV-C-MOCs) [26][27][28][29][30][31][32] and organo-phosphonate/arsonate-based POV-MOCs (POV-P/As-MOCs). 15,33 Both of them possess addenda of variable valent states (V III , V IV , and V V ) accompanied by flexible coordination geometries (square pyramid and octahedron).…”

Synthesis and Structure of High-Nuclearity Carboxylate-Modified Heteropolyoxovanadate Serving as a Heterogeneous Catalyst for Selective Oxidation of Alkylbenzenes

“…Polyoxovanadates (POVs), as an important member of polyoxometalate family, have become a focus due to significant properties and potential application value in catalysis, photochemistry, nanotechnology, and other domains. − With interest in structural diversity and functionalization, the organic functional ligands are grafted to the surface of POVs such as carboxylate-donor ligands, , nitrogen-donor ligands, − etc. − Carboxylate ligands have been regarded as one of the most widely utilized ligands in the preparation of organic-functionalized POVs . Based on the number of carboxylate groups, the carboxylate ligands could be divided into monodentate and multidentate ligands.…”
