A study of the effects of the interactions with amino acids on the vibrational spectra of Keggin heteropolyanions (Na(n)H(3-)n[XM(12)O(40)](n-); n = 0,1,2,3; X = P(V), Si(IV), M = W(VI), Mo(VI)) has been performed. Interactions occurred for all of the studied compounds leading to changes and splits in the stretching frequencies. Depending on the amino acid type, the IR bands for interbridge str...

Nanomaterial of Cu(3)(BTC)(2) (BTC = benzene tricarboxylic acid) incorporating Keggin heteropolyacid conveniently prepared at room temperature and recovered by freeze drying outperforms ultrastable Y zeolite in acid catalysed esterification reaction.

The effect of acetate concentration on the formation of {SiW10Fe2}-based complexes is demonstrated by the synthesis of an open-shell diiron tungstosilicate derivative featuring two rotational Keggin isomer units.

High-valent transition-metal-substituted Keggin-type polyoxometalates (POMs) are active and robust oxidation catalyst. The important oxidized intermediates of these POM complexes are very difficult to be characterized by using the experimental method, and thus no detail information is available on such species. In the present paper, density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been carried...

The POM-based inorganic–organic hybrids with different structures were assembled and used as the friction materials to construct TENGs results demonstrated that output performance was closely related dielectric constant.

A hybrid surfactant/polyoxometalate compound was synthesized by combining isopolytungstate anions with the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTA-Br) to produce a hierarchical compound that we identify as (CTA)7[H2W12O40]Cl·2H2O. At room temperature the compound consisted of hexagonally ordered sheets of Keggin ions, with an intervening gallery containing alkyl-chains of the or...

A novel intercluster compound, [{{Au(PPh(3))}(4)(μ(4)-O)}{{Au(PPh(3))}(3)(μ(3)-O)}][α-PW(12)O(40)]·EtOH (1) constructed between a heptakis{triphenylphosphinegold(i)}dioxonium cation and an α-Keggin polyoxometalate (POM) is synthesized and unequivocally characterized by elemental analysis, TG/DTA, FTIR, X-ray crystallography, solid-state CPMAS (31)P NMR and solution ((1)H, (31)P{(1)H}) NMR. The ...
