Elsevier Polyoxometalate-Based Hybrids and their Applications

Polyoxometalate-Based Hybrids and their Applications focuses on recent progress in polyoxometalate-based hybrids materials. Chapters present the structure, composition, classification, and properties of POMs such as isopolyaions, heteropolyanions, giant, and lacunary polyoxometalates and then cover polyoxometalate-based open-frameworks (POM-OFs), include a historical introduction to these compounds, and present their synthetic strategies. The structural diversity and relative applications of POM-OFs is also covered. Other sections delve into synthetic strategies, structural diversity and relative applications of porous polyoxometalate-based metal-organic frameworks. Polyoxometalate-based coordination polymers (POMCPs) and polyoxometalate-based host-guest framework materials are highlighted in final sections. This book is an essential reference for inorganic chemists, biochemists, and material scientists working in academia and industry. Review Focuses on recent progress in polyoxometalate-based hybrids materials research From the Back Cover <i>Polyoxometalate-Based Hybrids and their Applications</i> focuses on the recent progress in polyoxometalate-based hybrids materials. Polyoxometalates (POMs) are a subset of metal oxides that represent a huge range of inorganic clusters with an unmatched range of physical and chemical properties and the ability to generate dynamic structures that can range in size from the nano- to micrometer scale. The first chapter presents the structure, composition, classification, and properties of POMs such as isopolyaions, heteropolyanions, giant, and lacunary polyoxometalates. The second chapter sets out polyoxometalate-based open-frameworks (POM-OFs) and includes a historical introduction to these compounds, and their synthetic strategies are presented. The structural diversity and relative applications of POM-OFs is covered as well. In the third chapter, the synthetic strategies, structural diversity and relative applications of porous polyoxometalate-based metal-organic frameworks (POMOFs) are introduced and discussed. Polyoxometalate-based coordination polymers (POMCPs), and polyoxometalate-based host-guest framework materials are highlighted in the fourth and fifth chapters. This book is an essential reference for inorganic chemists, biochemists, and material scientists working in academia and industry. About the Author Majid M Heravi was born in 1952 in Mashhad, Iran. He received his B. Sc. degree from the National University of Iran in 1975 and his M. Sc. and Ph. D. degrees from Salford University, England in 1977 and 1980, respectively. He completed his doctoral thesis under the supervision of the late Jim Clarck in Salford University, England. He started his career as a research fellow in Daroupakhsh (a pharmaceutical company) in 1981 Tehran, Iran and joined as an assistant professor to Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Iran in 1983, and was promoted to associate professor in 1993 and full professor in 1997. In 1999 he moved to Alzahra University of Tehran, Iran as professor of chemistry where he still works. He has previously been a visiting professor at UC Riverside, California, USA and Hamburg University, Hamburg, Germany. His research interests focus on heterocyclic chemistry, catalysis, organic methodology and green synthetic organic chemistry. He has published more than 850 ISI cited papers, including reviews and 12 chapters in Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry, as well as two books with Elsevier. Masoud Mirzaei works in the Department of Chemistry at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad (FUM), Mashhad in Iran.
