The chemistry of boron azides, first reported by E. Wiberg et al. in 1954 [1], was further investigated by P. I. Paetzold [2 4], and the field has been reviewed [5, 6]. Structural and spectroscopic data for boron dichloride azide (trimeric) [7, 8] and dimethylboron azide have been reported in the literature [9]. Quite recently, additional boron azides have been reported and structurally charact...

The development of new complex metal oxides having structural complexity suitable for solid-state catalysis is of great importance in fundamental catalysis research and practical applications. However, examples of these materials are rare. Herein, we report two types of crystalline complex metal oxides with new structures and their catalytic properties. The first one is an all-inorganic ε-Keggi...

The authors' review compiles the literature in the field of polyoxomolybdates, POMo, and polyoxomolybdovanadates, POMoV, over the past two decades. The main achievements in the field of synthesis, crystal and molecular structure determinations and applications are presented. The first section describes polyoxomolybdates; their structure starting with a smaller number of building units to the fo...

Phosphoester hydrolysis is an important chemical step in DNA repair. One archetypal molecular model of phosphoesters para-nitrophenylphosphate (pNPP). It has been shown previously that the presence metal oxide [Mo7O24]6− may catalyse pNPP through partial decomposition polyoxomolybdate framework resulting a [(PO4)2Mo5O15]6− product. Real-time monitoring catalytic system using electrospray ionisa...
