An efficient protocol for post-functionalization of organo-imido polyoxometalates is developed via creating a remote tertiary “N” atom over the surface of organo-imido hexamolybdates and subsequently post-functionalizing it with the help of allyl or alkyl halides to afford stoichiometric, “in situ” crystalline products at moderate temperatures. The parent organo-imido product 2 and post-functio...

The stable high-performance electrochemical electrodes consisting of supercapacitive reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets decorated with pseudocapacitive polyoxometalates (phosphomolybdate acid-H3PMo12O40 (POM) and phosphotungstic acid-H3PW12O40 (POW)) nanodots/nanoclusters are hydrothermally synthesized. The interactions between rGO and POM (and POW) components create emergent “organic–inor...

This review provides a survey of polyoxometalate chemistry with special emphasis on its history, and special attention to Souchay’s and Müller’s contributions. Polyoxometalates are early transition metal oxygen cluster anions. Considering their structures, sizes and properties, polyoxometalates are intermediate between small molecules and oxides. They have been known for more than two centuries...
