Polyoxometalate-supported metal carbonyl derivatives: from synthetic strategies to structural diversity and applications

This review aims to give an overview of the POM-supported metal carbonyl complexes obtained so far, focusing on their structural diversity and potential photochemical and catalytic properties.

Immobilization of carbonyl rhenium tripods on the surface of a trinickel-substituted Dawson-type polyoxotungstate

A monomeric trinickel(ii)-substituted phosphotungstate [H₉P₂W₁₅O₆₂Ni₃]⁹⁻ ion is stabilized by grafting three {Re(CO)₃} organometallic groups on the surface of a trinickel cluster for the first time. The resulting polyanions [P₂W₁₅O₅₆Ni₃(H₂O)₃(μ₃-OH)₃(Re(CO)₃)₃]⁶⁻ stacked along the a-axis to form a wavy line.

Isopentatungstate-supported metal carbonyl derivative: synthesis, characterization, and catalytic properties for alkene epoxidation

An isopentatungstate-supported metal carbonyl derivative has been synthesized and characterized, and can efficiently catalyze alkene epoxidation with high activity.

Synthesis and characterization of a series of novel polyoxometalate-supported carbonyl manganese derivatives

A series of novel heteropolytungstates-supported carbonyl manganese derivatives have been synthesized, which are the first examples of grafting [Mn(CO)₃]⁺ moieties and Mn²⁺ on the tungsto-antimonates/bismutates.

A nona-vacant Keggin-type tricarbonyl rhenium derivative {[PMo3O16][Re(CO)3]4}5− and its catalytic performance for CO2 cycloaddition reactions

A nona-vacant Keggin-type tricarbonyl rhenium derivative {[PMo₃O₁₆][Re(CO)₃]₄}⁵⁻ was synthesized and its frontier orbitals were computed. Interestingly, it showed good catalytic activity for the CO₂ cycloaddition reaction.
