Abstract:
Polyoxometalates (POMs) are a species of discrete anionic polynuclear metal-oxo clusters made from early transition metals in their higher oxidation states. Together with organic ligands they can be assembled in hybrid organic-inorganic materials combining the chemical and electronic properties with the versatility of organic ligands. The research presented in this thesis revolves around the synthesis and characterisation of novel hybrid organic-inorganic polyoxometalate compounds with focus on the understanding and exploitation of covalent and non-covalent template effects. Cation-π interactions are identified for the first time as an integral part of hybrid polyoxometalate compounds. The compounds are structurally characterised by single crystal x-ray crystallography (SXRD) and supplemental techniques.
