Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Polyoxometalates (POMs) are anionic metal oxide clusters of early transition metals (Mo, W, V, and Nb) in their highest oxidation states. POM-based materials have attracted great attention due to their outstanding physical and chemical properties that make them promising candidates for applications in various areas. The electronic and topological structures of POM systems can be tuned by incorporation of transition metal ions or groups of transition metal ions at specific sites of the various lacunary POM ligands. Thus, the resultant properties directed by the structure–property relationship allows for a bottom-up approach to the development of multifunctional materials. Within the class of transition metal-substituted POMs, the paramagnetic metal ion-containing POMs represents the largest subclass due to their remarkable structural diversities, different chemical compositions, and potential applications in the field of molecular magnetism, magnetocaloric refrigerants, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic sensing, molecular spintronics, and quantum computing.

This Special Issue invites research papers covering all research areas related to paramagnetic metal ion-containing POMs (magnetic POMs with 3d-transition metals ions, lanthanide ions, actinide ions, main group elements, heterometallic ions, and organic–inorganic hybrids), their preparation, characterization, and various applications.

Mono-substituted vanadium-containing Dawson-type polyoxometalates having the general formula α1-[VIVW17X2O62]8− and α2-[VIVW17X2O62]8−, with X = As or P, were synthesised and subject to a comprehensive electrochemical study comprising the pH dependency. These POMs exhibit an electrocatalytic behaviour towards the oxidation of thiols (namely cysteine), rendering them interesting species for mimicking oxidative stress situations, at physiological pH values. The efficiency of the electro-oxidation was assessed with thiols of different nature, and the substrate that responded best was used to compare the electrocatalytic capabilities of the POM series. The magnetic behaviour of these POMs was also evaluated and compared to their analogues, α1- and α2-[VVW17X2O62]7− (X = As or P), at low temperatures and showed, as expected, a paramagnetic behaviour of VIV based compounds.

The iron(III)-containing arsenotungstate [FeIII2(AsIIIW6O23)2(AsIIIO3H)2]12− (1) was prepared via a simple, one-pot reaction in aqueous basic medium. The compound was isolated as its sodium salt, and structurally-characterized by Single Crystal X-ray Diffraction (SCXRD), Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD), Fourier-Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and elemental analysis. Its magnetic properties are reported; the antiferromagnetic coupling between the two FeIII centers is unusually weak as a result of the bridging geometry imposed by the rigid arsenotungstate metalloligands.

Abstract
Lacunary polyoxometalates (POMs) are negatively charged metal–oxo clusters, formally obtained from plenary topologies via fragment removal. Owing to the fragment removal, the lacunary POMs archetypes are rich in nucleophilic terminal oxo ligands, making them suitable for post-synthetic coordination with various heterometals. Trilacunary heteropolytungstates [...] Read more.
Lacunary polyoxometalates (POMs) are negatively charged metal–oxo clusters, formally obtained from plenary topologies via fragment removal. Owing to the fragment removal, the lacunary POMs archetypes are rich in nucleophilic terminal oxo ligands, making them suitable for post-synthetic coordination with various heterometals. Trilacunary heteropolytungstates (hetero-POTs) based on bowl-shaped {W9O30} framework incorporating a central lone-pair containing {XO3} hetergroup (X = AsIII, SbIII, and BiIII) function as all-inorganic scaffolds that in the presence of d-block metal cations typically construct sandwich-like dimers of Hervé and/or Krebs. Herein we review the preparative approaches, as well as compositional and magnetic versatility of the constructed Hervé- and Krebs-type dimers and discuss prospective uses as POMtronics. Full article
