“…A large number of Keggin polyoxoanion supported transition metal coordination complexes have been hydrothermally synthesized, including Keggin polyoxoanion mono- [18-24], bi-[25,26], tri-[27], tetra-[26,28,29], penta-[30] supported transition metal coordination complexes. In general, in order to isolate polyoxoanion supported transition metal coordination complexes, two strategies have been exploited to increase the surface charge density or activate the surface oxygen atoms of polyoxoanions [1]: (I) reduce the metal centres by reducing regents [18,26,27], for instance, from W VI to W V ; (II) replace metal centres with another lower-oxidation state metal [21,25,26,[28][29][30], for example, from Mo VI to V IV . However, usually the highly reduced polyoxoanions are unstable and inclined to be oxidized in atmosphere.…”
