Exploitation of unveiled information originating from initial experimental observations has sparked the development of new families of compounds with unique structural characteristics and functionalities. The main source of inspiration for numerous research groups originated from the implementation of the design element along with the discovery of new chemical components which can self-assemble into complex structures with wide range of sizes, topologies and functionalities. Not only do self-assembled inorganic and metal–organic chemical systems belong to families of compounds with configurable structures, but also have a vast array of physical properties which reflect the chemical information stored in the various “modular” molecular subunits. The purpose of this short review article is not the exhaustive discussion of the broad field of inorganic and metal–organic chemical systems, but the discussion of some representative examples from each category which demonstrate the implementation of new synthetic approaches and design principles. Keywords: self-assembly; supramolecular chemistry; coordination chemistry; polyoxometalates; metal–organic frameworks; clusters 1. Introduction The term self-assembly is frequently used to describe an extended network of equilibria which can be exploited in synthetic chemistry in order to construct complex molecular structures from molecular synthons linked by covalent bonds. This area of research is governed by a specific set of rules which has attracted the interest of numerous research groups over the last decades. On the other hand, the supramolecular chemistry aspect is considered a complementary research area and extends beyond the molecular chemistry, has also attracted substantial interest and is responsible for the formation of chemical systems using building blocks of appropriate structural features and chemical properties interacting via non-covalent intermolecular forces. The first signs of this new field emerged in 1967 by the work of Jean-Marie Lehn in the design and study of alkali-metal cryptates, and the identification of the phenomenon of molecular recognition in chemical systems. This initial observation set the scene for the development of the field of supramolecular chemistry [1] and resulted in the award of the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1987.

Academic Editors: Greta Ricarda Patzke and Pierre-Emmanuel Car Received: 14 April 2015 / Accepted: 25 June 2015 / Published: 14 July 2015 Abstract: The formation processes of V(V)-substituted polyoxometalates with the Wells–Dawson-type structure were studied by cyclic voltammetry and by 31P NMR and Raman spectroscopy. Generally, the vanadium-substituted heteropolytungstates, 7− 7− [P2VW17O62] and [As2VW17O62] , were prepared by mixing equimolar amounts of the 10− 10− corresponding lacunary species—[P2W17O61] and [As2W17O61] —and vanadate. According to the results of various measurements in the present study, the tungsten site in 6− 6− the framework of [P2W18O62] and [As2W18O62] without defect sites could be substituted 7− 7− with V(V) to form the [P2VW17O62] and [As2VW17O62] , respectively. The order in which the reagents were mixed was observed to be the key factor for the formation of Dawson-type V(V)-substituted polyoxometalates. Even when the concentration of each reagent was identical, the final products differed depending on the order of their addition to the reaction mixture. Unlike Wells–Dawson-type heteropolytungstates, the molybdenum sites in the 6− 6− framework of [P2Mo18O62] and [As2Mo18O62] were substituted with V(V), but formed 4− 4− 7− Keggin-type [PVMo11O40] and [AsVMo11O40] instead of [P2VMo17O62] and 7− [As2VMo17O62] , respectively, even though a variety of reaction conditions were used.

Author: Anna Selling Address: Department of Inorganic Chemistry, Umeå University, S -901 87 Umeå, Sweden. Abstract: This thesis comprises a summary and discussion of four papers, where heteropolyanions containing phosphorus as heteroatom and molybdenum and/or vanadium as addenda atoms have been studied. The ultimate goal was to study the equilibrium spéciation in the reduced molybdovanadophosphate system. The latter is a good catalyst in the selective oxidation of olefins to carbonyls. The studies were been performed in 0.6 M Na(Cl) medium at 25 °C. The main techniques employed included potentiometry, NMR- and ESR spectrometry, complemented with FTIR, X-ray diffraction and cyclic voltammetry. Experimental data were treated with the computer program LAKE, which is capable of simultaneously handling multimethod data. Before the reduced molybdovanadophosphate system could be studied, the subsystems needed to be known. Since the spéciation in most of the oxidised subsystems has been reported earlier in the same ionic medium, only the binary phosphate and the ternary vanadophosphate systems had to be studied. These are reported in this thesis. All three pXa values for the phosphate system have been determined with high precision. In the vanadophosphate system, equilibrium species with the formula [HzPVi40 42](9 z) and the trans-bicapped Keggin structure were formed.

The proton locations within the thermally stable and commonly known Keggin unit, which is the primary structure building unit/block, has remained undetermined in anhydrous HPAs, despite numerous theoretical and experimental efforts. However, Rotational Echo DOuble Resonance (REDOR) NMR and Density Functional Theory (DFT) quantum chemical calculations offer a new opportunity to determine the exact locations of protons within the Keggin unit.

They combine the strong acidity, oxygen-rich surface, and redox capability of POMs, while overcoming their drawbacks, such as difficult handling, a low surface area, and a high solubility. MOFs are ideal hosts because of their high surface area, long-range ordered structure, and high tunability in terms of the pore size and channels. In some cases, MOFs add an extra dimension to the functionality of hybrids. This review summarizes the recent developments in the field of POM@MOF hybrids. The most common applied synthesis strategies are discussed, together with major applications, such as their use in catalysis (organocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and photocatalysis). The more than 100 papers on this topic have been systematically summarized in a handy table, which covers almost all of the work conducted in this field up to now.

  • Research Progress on Catalytic Water Splitting Based on Polyoxometalate/Semiconductor Composites
    catalysts Review Research Progress on Catalytic Water Splitting Based on Polyoxometalate/Semiconductor Composites Yue Wu * and Lihua Bi * College of Chemistry, Jilin University, Changchun 130012, China * Correspondence: [email protected] (Y.W.); [email protected] (L.B.) Abstract: In recent years, due to the impact of global warming, environmental pollution, and the energy crisis, international attention and demand for clean energy are increasing. Hydrogen energy is recognized as one of the clean energy sources. Water is considered as the largest potential supplier of hydrogen energy. However, artificial catalytic water splitting for hydrogen and oxygen evolution has not been widely used due to its high energy consumption and high cost during catalytic cracking. Therefore, the exploitation of photocatalysts, electrocatalysts, and photo-electrocatalysts for rapid, cost effective, and reliable water splitting is essentially needed. Polyoxometalates (POMs) are regarded as the potential candidates for water splitting catalysis. In addition to their excellent catalytic properties and reversibly redox activities, POMs can also modify semiconductors to overcome their shortcomings, and improve photoelectric conversion efficiency and photocatalytic activity, which has attracted more and more attention in the field of photoelectric water splitting catalysis. In this review, we summarize the latest applications of POMs and semiconductor composites in the field of photo-electrocatalysis (PEC) for hydrogen and oxygen evolution by catalytic water splitting in recent years and take the latest applications of POMs and semiconductor composites in photocatalysis for water splitting. In the conclusion section, the challenges and strategies of photocatalytic and PEC water-splitting by POMs and semiconductor composites are discussed. Citation: Wu, Y.; Bi, L.

Kaledin,1 Qiushi Yin,2 Craig L. Hill,1,2 Tianquan Lian,1,2 and Djamaladdin G. Musaev1,2,* 1 Emerson Center for Scientific Computation, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia 30322 USA 2 Department of Chemistry, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia 3032 USA Abstract The counterions of polyoxometalates (POMs) impact properties and applications of this growing class of inorganic clusters. Here, we used density functional theory (DFT) to elucidate the impact of fully hydrated alkali metal cations on the geometry, electronic structure, and chemical properties 3- of the polyoxotungstate anion [PW12O40] . The calculations show that the HOMO of the free anion 3- [PW12O40] is a linear combination of the 2p AOs of the bridging oxygens, and the first few LUMOs are the 5d orbitals of the tungsten atoms. The S0 S1 electron excitation, near 3 eV, is associated with the O(2p) W(5d) transition. Anion/cation complexation leads to formation of 3- + [PW12O40] [M (H2O)16]3 ion-pair complexes, where with the increase of atomic number of M, the + M (H2O)16 cluster releases several water molecules and interacts strongly with the 3- + polyoxometalate anion.
