Advances In Polyoxometalates: Metal Oxide Chemistry: New Complexes, Horizons

Polyoxometalates Chemistry displays frontier of modern inorganic and materials science. This book presents a comprehensive and systematic account of the synthesis, characterization, and functional applications of novel heteropoly metal oxide complexes consisting of 3d, 4d, and 5d transition metal series - one of the most versatile and rapidly growing families of inorganic compounds.The authors describe the hydrothermal preparation of nine noval Keggin and Anderson type Polyoxometalates of sodium salt derivatives incorporating Cu(II), Fe(II), and Ni(II) centres. Each compound has been characterized by elemental analysis, cryoscopic molecular weight determination, thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis, and infrared spectroscopy These nanosized metal-oxygen architectures display a remarkable combination of low toxicity, high thermodynamic stability, and multifunctional behaviour, making them highly promising candidates for applications in heterogeneous catalysis, electronic devices, magnetic materials, and emerging biomedical technologies. This book offers valuable reference for chemists working in polyoxometalate and transition metal chemistry.
