In the last decade organic-inorganic hybrid materials have become essential in materials science as they combine properties of both building blocks. Nowadays the main routes for their synthesis involve electrostatic coupling, covalent grafting, and/or solvent effects. In this field, polyoxometalates (POMs) have emerged as interesting inorganic functional building blocks due to their outstanding...

transition-metal-substituted  (tms)  polyoxometalates  of  the  general  formula  [siw9m3o39], (where m = first row transition metal), has been synthesized and supported on anatase by sol–gel method under oil-bath condition. the tetrabutylammonium (tba) salts of the keggin-type polyoxotungstates  [siw9m3o39],  (m = vii, crii, mnii,  feii coii  and niii),  proved  to  be  green, reusable,  and  ...

Selective oxidation of isobutane to methacrolein (MAC) and methacrylic acid (MAA) has received great interest both in the chemical industry academic research. The advantages this reaction originate not only from low cost starting material reduced process complexity, but also limiting use toxic reactants production wastes. Successive studies reports have shown that heteropolycompounds (HPCs) wit...

The hydrothermal synthesis of two new inorganic-organic hybrid materials in which PDA (PDA = 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxylate) is connected to a well-defined Keggin-type polyoxometalate anion (POM) and a Ln(III) cation (POM = [SiW12O40]4−; Ln = Eu3+ (1), Er3+ (2)), are reported. These hybrids are characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Single-c...
