Novel colloidal materials from functionalized polyoxometalates

Polyoxometalate (POM)-based colloidal materials were prepared for the first time from the organo-functionalized Anderson structure polyoxometalate species [NaVIV6O6{(OCH2CH2)2N(CH2CH2OH)}6]Cl·H2O and the mixed-addenda Keggin structure polyoxometalate, K4(PVW11O40).145
