A redox-active hybrid organic-inorganic polyoxometalate surfactant showed solvent-dependent self-assembly to form nano-scale architectures. The supramolecular assemblies exhibited contrasting electronic structure and redox activity to their molecular... Read More about Redox-active organic-inorganic hybrid polyoxometalate micelles.

Orbital engineering: photoactivation of an organofunctionalized polyoxotungstate (2016)
Journal Article
Newton, G., Oshio, H., Cameron, J., Fujimoto, S., Kastner, K., Wei, R. J., …Sans, V. (2017). Orbital engineering: photoactivation of an organofunctionalized polyoxotungstate. Chemistry - A European Journal, 23(1), 47-50. https://doi.org/10.1002/chem.201605021

Tungsten-based polyoxometalates (POMs) are employed as UV-driven photo-catalysts for a range of organic transformations. Their photoactivity is dependent on electronic transitions between frontier orbitals, and thus manipulation of orbital energy lev...
