Ready-to-be-addressed oxo-clusters: individualized, periodically organized and separated from the substrate

Abstract

Clusters and oxo-clusters are drawing attention for their amazing physical properties, especially at the scale of the single molecule. However, chemical methods to organize them on a surface in such...

Bioorthogonal chemistry of polyoxometalates – challenges and prospects

“…A powerful method for arranging molecules on surfaces is to prefunctionalize the surface with a preorganized template matrix. It was shown that a supramolecular 2D self-assembled network formed as a result of hydrophobic interactions between triazine derivatives with hydrophobic strands serves as an ideal matrix for placing hydrophilic inorganic POMs on the surface of HOPG 215 ( Fig. 9B ).…”
