Recent progress on the frontiers of polyoxometalates structures and applications

Stepwise assembly and reversible structural transformation of ligated titanium coated bismuth-oxo cores: shell morphology engineering for enhanced chemical fixation of CO2

“…[10][11][12][13][14][15][16] As the molecular models of functional metal oxides, atomically precise metal-oxo clusters recently became a prominent research topic. 17,18 A growing number of interesting oxo clusters have been prepared, including representative complexes of Mo, 19 W, 20,21 V, 22 Nb, 23 Ti, [24][25][26] Sn, 27 Pd 28,29 and so on. The construction of metal-oxo clusters not only provides opportunities for mechanism research, but also sometimes brings unprecedented functionalities.…”

Self-Assembly of Ultrathin Nanocrystals to Multidimensional Superstructures

“…Polyoxometalates (POMs) have attracted special attention in the area of self-assembly as a class of nanobuilding blocks due to their unique structural frameworks, defined sizes, and outstanding intrinsic features . Over the past decade, POM-based chemistry has boomed; an ensemble of new POM clusters with various sizes, structures, complexity, and intrinsic characteristics has been synthesized, , and their self-assembly into thin films, − tubes, , wires, fibers, honeycomb architectures, − vesicles, , etc.…”

Propane-1,3-diammonium molybdate

“…In recent decades, oxyanions of metals from groups 5 and 6 in the periodic table (polyoxometalates, POMs) have attracted great interest in many fields (catalysis, medicine, functional materials and photochemistry) and continue to be extensively studied for energy applications (An et al, 2018). This is particularly the case for molybdenum compounds which constitute suitable building blocks for the assembly of more complex and unusual structures (Sü ss-Fink et al, 1997;Plasseraud et al, 1999).…”
