pH-Controlled assembly of [ZnW₁₂O₄₀]⁶⁻-based hybrids from a 0D dimer to a 2D network: synthesis, crystal structure, and photocatalytic performance in transformation of toluene into benzaldehyde

Abstract

Three new ZnW12-based hybrids were synthesized by controlling the pH values of the reaction systems. Compound 3 can efficiently catalyze the oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde.

Five new multifunctional inorganic–organic hybrids based on Keggin-type polyoxometalates and a 3,5-di(1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzoic acid ligand

“…So far, a large number of POM-based compounds, especially inorganic–organic hybrid materials with diverse structures and specific properties, have been synthesized and reported. 9–12 POMs are usually applied as linkers or guest molecules in the structures of inorganic–organic hybrid materials formed by POMs and metal–organic complexes. 13…”

Mechanism of melanogenesis inhibition by Keggin-type polyoxometalates

“…Polyoxometalates (POMs), a large family of anionic inorganic macromolecules, have been developed and applied in a wide range of fields, 8 including catalysis, 9–14 materials science, 15–19 photochemistry, 20–22 electrochemistry, 23,24 and medicine. 25–27 In recent years, POMs have emerged as promising inorganic candidates for the development of new composite drugs due to their incomparable structural diversity and multifaceted bioactivities that encompass antiviral, anticancer, antibacterial and anti-Alzheimer's activities.…”
