Hybrid polyoxometalates as post-functionalization platforms: from fundamentals to emerging applications

Higher Oligomeric Surfactants — From Fundamentals to Applications

Graphene oxide: from fundamentals to applications.

In this review, we discuss the fundamental characterization of graphene oxide (GO) and its future application perspectives. Morphology is discussed through optical microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy studies. Chemical, structural, and vibrational properties are discussed through x-ray photoemission spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy st...

POSTER SESSION BOOKLET From Fundamentals to Applications

The lack of social interaction is one of the most debilitating deficit associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) [1]. Children affected by ASD have problems in paying attention, turn-taking, games and communication activities. We propose a set of solutions in order to improve quality of social interaction in ASD children. Our methods will be implemented on board of a socially assistive rob...

Spatial transformations: from fundamentals to applications.

This paper forms the introduction to this themed issue of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A on 'Spatial transformations', arising from the Royal Society Scientific Discussion Meeting held in January 2015. The paper begins with a review of the concepts and history of spatial transformations, followed by a discussion of the contributions from the papers in this themed issue. A sum...

A versatile and highly efficient post-functionalization method for grafting organic molecules onto Anderson-type polyoxometalates.

A new azide functionalized Anderson polyoxometalate was synthesized, fully characterized and subsequently used as a building block for further POM post-functionalization with organic compounds through a copper catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction. Optimization of the reaction conditions led to an efficient, fast, convenient and versatile POM coupling method.
