Abstract
The Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction between (NBu4)2[V6O13((OCH2)3CCH2N3)2] and 3-ethynylpyridine led to the formation of products capable of forming poorly soluble coordination compounds with transition metal ions such as Cu(I) and Zn(II). The formation of these poorly soluble phases is an important feature that was used to determine the course of reactions, allowing the selective preparation of symmetric bis-pyridyltriazolyl and asymmetric monopyridyltriazolyl derivatives with relatively high yields and high substrate conversions. The asymmetric compound (NBu4)2[V6O13((OCH2)3CCH2-N3C2H-C5H4N)((OCH2)3CCH2N3)] (V6asym) was utilized in the subsequent "click" postfunctionalization reaction with 1,4-diethynylbenzene, resulting in a covalently bound V6asym-V6asym dimer. This dimeric compound was subjected to scanning probe microscopy studies on gold surfaces, which revealed no electronic coupling between the hexavanadate cores within the dimer upon potential-induced switching. This observation indicates that such dimers and higher-order oligomers composed of polyoxometalate-ligand-polyoxometalate bridges can be exploited as active capacitor/memristor units, relevant to increase the data storage capacity of standard memory devices with innovative molecular switching mechanisms.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal chemistry has enabled scientists to carry out controlled chemical processes in high yields in vivo while minimizing hazardous effects. Its extension to the field of polyoxometalates (POMs) could open up new possibilities and new applications in molecular electronics, sensing and catalysis, including inside living cells. However, this comes with many challenges that need to be addressed to effectively implement and exploit bioorthogonal reactions in the chemistry of POMs. In particular, how to protect POMs from the biological environment but make their reactivity selective towards specific bioorthogonal tags (and thereby reduce their toxicity), as well as which bioorthogonal chemistry protocols are suitable for POMs and how reactions can be carried out are questions that we are exploring herein. This perspective conceptualizes and discusses advances in the supramolecular chemistry of POMs, their click chemistry, and POM-based surface engineering to develop innovative bioorthogonal approaches tailored to POMs and to improve POM biological tolerance.

Abstract
We present the post-synthetic modification of a polyoxovanadate-alkoxide (POV-alkoxide) cluster via the reactivity of its cationic form, [V6O7(OCH3)12]1+, with water. This result indicates that cluster oxidation increases the lability of bridging methoxide ligands, affording a ligand exchange reaction that serves to compensate for the increased charge of the cluster core. This synthetic advance affords the isolation of a series of POV-alkoxide clusters with varying degrees of μ2-O2- ligands incorporated at the surface, namely, [V6O8(OCH3)11], [V6O9(OCH3)10], and [V6O10(OCH3)9]. Characterization of the POV-alkoxide clusters is described; changes in the infrared and electronic absorption spectra are consistent with the oxidation of the cluster core. We also examine the consequences of ligand substitution on the redox properties of the series of POV-alkoxide clusters via cyclic voltammetry; decreased alkoxide ligand density translates to a cathodic shift of analogous redox events. Ligand substitution also increases comproportionation constants of the Lindqvist core, indicating electron exchange between vanadium centers is promoted in structures with greater numbers of μ2-O2- ligands.

Abstract
A series of new organic hybrid polyoxovanadate clusters [V4O4(μ-OH)2(acac)2(Htri)2] (1, H3tri = tris(hydroxymethyl) aminomethane, acac = acetylacetone), [V4O4(acac)2(Htri)2(L)2] {HL = methanol (2), ethanol (3a and 3b), ethylene glycol (4) and benzyl alcohol (5)}, {V4O4(H2O)2(tri-acetamide)2(CH3COO)2} (6, H3tri-acetamide = N-(2-hydroxy-1,1-bis-hydroxymethyl-ethyl)-acetamide), [V6O8(μ-OH)2(Htri)3]·6H2O (7) and [V14O18(tri)2(Htri)6(HCOO)(CH3COO)]·2H2O (8) were prepared by hydro(solvo)thermal methods and characterized structurally. 1 contains [VO(OH)(acac)] and [VO2(Htri)] units, which are further interconnected via common edges to build a tetravanadyl cluster [V4O4(OH)2(acac)2(Htri)2] with the double-deficient cube [V4O6]. The tetravanadyl cluster frameworks of 2-5 can be derived from the tetravanadyl cluster of 1 by replacing two -OH groups with two deprotonated organic alcohol ligands, namely, CH3O- (2), CH3CH2O- (3a and 3b), HO(CH2)2O- (4) and C6H5CH2O- (5). Interestingly, both 3a and 3b have the same chemical structure, but they exhibit different conformational polymorphisms [denoted as α-type (3a) and β-type (3b)]. Such conformational polymorphisms within the polyoxovanadate clusters incorporating tris(hydroxymethyl)methane derivatives emerged for the first time. 6 displays another tetravanadyl cluster {V4O4(H2O)2(tri-acetamide)2(CH3COO)2} with a [V4O16] fragment, where the tri-acetamide unit comes from the amidation reaction of H3tri and acetic acid and caps the tetrahedral void of the tetravanadyl cluster. The polyoxovanadate cluster of 7 can originate from the Lindqvist-type hexavanadyl cluster [V6O19] by replacing nine μ-oxides with nine alkoxides of three tri-acetamide3- ligands. 8 exhibits a fully reduced tetradecavanadyl cluster based on the linkage of two heptavanadyl clusters via two O bridges. The magnetic properties of 1-8 show typical antiferromagnetic interactions.

Abstract
Polyoxometalates (POMs) have emerged as material of interest in many applications such as energy storage and conversion due to their redox activity and molecularly defined structure. However, especially for polyoxovanadates a lack of understanding between structural modifications and physicochemical properties remains. The present study leverages a lacunary dodecavanadate to systematically investigate the electronic effect of heterometal functionalization. While structural distortion affects the stability of the cluster, the redox potentials correlate with the overall cluster charge. Furthermore, we report the first bromide-templated analogue of this cluster family. While the halide anion is crucial for the formation of the cluster, no major effect on the electrochemical properties is observed. By improving the understanding of structure-property relationship in this work, we hope to enable a more predictable tuning of redox-properties of polyoxovandates.

Abstract
Polyoxovanadate (POV) clusters are an important subclass of polyoxometalates with a broad range of molecular compositions and physicochemical properties. One relatively underdeveloped application of these polynuclear assemblies involves their use as atomically precise, homogenous molecular models for bulk metal oxides. Given the structural and electronic similarities of POVs and extended vanadium oxide materials, as well as the relative ease of modifying the homogenous congeners, investigation of the chemical and physical properties of pristine and modified cluster complexes presents a method toward understanding the influence of structural modifications (e.g. crystal structure/phase, chemical makeup of surface ligands, elemental dopants) on the properties of extended solids. This review summarises recent advances in the use of POV clusters as atomically precise models for bulk metal oxides, with particular focus on the assembly of vanadium oxide clusters and the consequences of altering the molecular composition of the assembly via organofunctionalization and the incorporation of elemental "dopants".

Abstract
Polyoxometalates (POMs) represent an important group of metal-oxo nanoclusters, typically comprised of early transition metals in high oxidation states (mainly V, Mo and W). Many plenary POMs exhibit good pH, solvent, thermal and redox stability, which makes them attractive components for the design of covalently integrated hybrid organic-inorganic molecules, herein referred to as hybrid-POMs. Until now, thousands of organic hybrid-POMs have been reported; however, only a small fraction can be further functionalized using other organic molecules or metal cations. This emerging class of 'post-functionalizable' hybrid-POMs constitute a valuable modular platform that permits coupling of POM properties with different organic and metal cation functionalities, thereby expanding the key physicochemical properties that are relevant for application in (photo)catalysis, bioinorganic chemistry and materials science. The post-functionalizable hybrid-POM platforms offer an opportunity to covalently link multi-electron redox responsive POM cores with virtually any (bio)organic molecule or metal cation, generating a wide range of materials with tailored properties. Over the past few years, these materials have been showcased in the preparation of framework materials, functional surfaces, surfactants, homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts and light harvesting materials, among others. This review article provides an overview on the state of the art in POM post-functionalization and highlights the key design and structural features that permit the discovery of new hybrid-POM platforms. In doing so, we aim to make the subject more comprehensible, both for chemists and for scientists with different materials science backgrounds interested in the applications of hybrid (POM) materials. The review article goes beyond the realms of polyoxometalate chemistry and encompasses emerging research domains such as reticular materials, surfactants, surface functionalization, light harvesting materials, non-linear optics, charge storing materials, and homogeneous acid-base catalysis among others.

Abstract
The success of nonaqueous redox flow battery technology requires synthetic advances in charge carrier design to increase compatibility with organic solvents. Herein, previous discoveries related to the development of multimetallic charge carriers are built upon with the high-yielding syntheses of ether- functionalized polyoxovanadate-alkoxide clusters, [V6 O7 (OR)9 (OCH2 )3 CR'] (R=CH3 , C2 H5 ; R'=CH3 , CH2 OCH3 , CH2 OC2 H4 OCH3 ). Like their homoleptic congeners [V6 O7 (OR)12 ] (R=CH3 , C2 H5 ), these clusters exhibit four redox events, spanning nearly a two-volt window, and demonstrate rapid electron-transfer kinetics. The ethoxide derivatives can reversibly cycle two electrons at each electrode in symmetric charging schematics, demonstrating long-term solution stability. Furthermore, ether functionalization yields a twelvefold increase in solubility, a factor which directly dictates the energy density of a redox flow battery.

Abstract
The distorted tetrahedral [V(OAd)4] alkoxide (OAd = 1-adamantoxide, complex 1) is the first homoleptic, mononuclear vanadium(IV) alkoxide to be characterized in the solid state by X-ray diffraction analysis. The compound crystallizes in the cubic P4̅3 n space group with two highly disordered, crystallographically independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. Spin Hamiltonian parameters extracted from low temperature X- and Q-band electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiments performed for polycrystalline samples of 1, both in the concentrated (bulk) form and diluted in the diamagnetic [Ti(OAd)4] analogue, reveal a fully axial system with g z < g x, g y and A z ≫ A x, A y. Complex 1 has also been characterized by alternate current susceptometry with varying temperature (3-30 K) and static magnetic field (up to 8.5 T), showing field-induced slow relaxation of the magnetization with relaxation times ranging from ca. 3 ms at 3 K to 0.02-0.03 ms at 30 K, in line with relevant results described recently for other potential molecular quantum bits. Pulsed EPR measurements, in turn, disclosed long coherence times of ca. 4 μs at temperatures lower than 40 K, despite the presence of the H-rich ligands. The slow spin relaxation in 1 is the first observed for a tetracoordinate nonoxido vanadium(IV) complex, and results are compared here to those generated by square-pyramidal VIV(O)2+ and trigonal prismatic V4+ with oxygen donor atom sets. Considering that the number of promising d1 complexes investigated in detail for slow magnetization dynamics is still small, the present work contributes to the establishment of possible structural/electronic correlations of interest to the field of quantum information processing.
