Syntheses and characterizations of the first N-containing organic ligand functionalized mono-lanthanide-substituted polyoxometalates

Roles of Organic Fragments in Redirecting Crystal/Molecular Structures of Inorganic-Organic Hybrids Based on Lacunary Keggin-Type Polyoxometalates

Lacunary polyoxometalates (LPOMs) are key precursors for the synthesis of functional POMs. To date, reviews dedicated to behavioral studies of LPOMs often comprise the role of metal ions, including transition metal (TM) and rare earth (RE) ions, in extending and stability of high-nuclearity clusters. In contrast, the role of organic ligands in the structures and properties of lacunary-based hybrids has remained less explored. In this review, we focus on the role of organic fragments in the self-assembling process of POM-based architectures and discuss relationships between the nature and structure of organic ligand and properties such as the topology of hybrid inorganic–organic material in RE and TM-RE heterometallic derivatives of lacunary Keggin-type POMs. The effects of organic fragment in mixed ligand hybrids are also briefly reviewed.

Recent advances in rare earth co-doped luminescent tungsten oxygen complexes

This review talks about recent advances in RE co-doped tungsten oxygen complexes, including synthesis strategies associated with the luminescent mechanism, structural features and related applications.

A systematic study of the optical properties of mononuclear hybrid organo–inorganic lanthanoid complexes

Mononuclear organic–inorganic hybrid lanthanoid complexes show that the combination of both types of ligands improves the optical response compared to the inorganic analogue, thus having potential optical applications due to their thermal response.

Hybrid organic–inorganic mononuclear lanthanoid single ion magnets

The plasticity of the coordination chemistry of lanthanoid ions has allowed the design and synthesis for the first time of a family of mononuclear hybrid organic–inorganic lanthanoid complexes with slow relaxation of the magnetization.
