Special Issue: Research on Polyoxometalate Materials.

35889296 11 Ni Z.H., Lv H.J., Yang G.Y. Recent Advances of Ti/Zr-Substituted Polyoxometalates: From Structural Diversity to Functional Applications. Guo-Yu Yang et al. [[5]] synthesized three new transition metal-substituted POM compounds. Polyoxometalates are a special class of soluble metal oxides (intermediate state) between monomeric metal oxides and infinite metal oxides, which have amazing differences in sizes, chemical compositions, and physical properties from monomeric and infinite metal oxides. All the previously reported Ge-V-O compounds were totally based on aliphatic organic ligands; compounds B 1 b and B 2 b are the first examples of Ge-V-O clusters containing aromatic organic ligands.
