“…5 In the realm of supramolecular chemistry, structure and function control in POMs has been achieved using internal (often anionic) templates, [6][7][8] as well as external structure-directing molecules. [9][10][11][12][13] Over the last decade, polyoxovanadate (POV) chemistry has undergone a tremendous developments; 3,14,15 while pioneering work in the late 20th century was dominated by structural and magnetic studies, 14,16,17 the field has now expanded to energy conversion and energy storage, 3,18,19 catalysis, 20,21 sensing, 22,23 spintronics 24,25 and solid-state reactivity models. 26,27 This is in part due to novel synthetic approaches which enable polyoxovanadate functionalization with metals, 28-30 semimetals 15,31 or organic moieties, 32,33 often working under non-aqueous conditions in organic solvents.…”
