Abstract
In this work, the construction of two heterojunction photocatalysts by coordinative anchoring of M(salophen)Cl complexes (M = Fe(III) and Mn(III)) to rutile TiO2 through a silica-aminopyridine linker (SAPy) promotes the visible-light-assisted photodegradation of organic dyes. The degradation efficiency of both cationic rhodamine B (RhB) and anionic methyl orange (MO) dyes by Fe- and Mn-TiO2-based catalysts in the presence of H2O2 under sunlight and low-wattage visible bulbs (12-18 W) is investigated. Anionic MO is more degradable than cationic RhB, and the Mn catalyst shows more activity than its Fe counterpart. Action spectra demonstrate the maximum apparent quantum efficiency (AQY) at 400-450 nm, confirming the visible-light-driven photocatalytic reaction. The enhanced photocatalytic activity might be attributed to the improved charge transfer in the heterojunction photocatalysts evidenced by photoluminescence (PL) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analyses. A radical pathway for the photodegradation of dyes is postulated based on scavenging experiments and spectral data. This work provides new opportunities for constructing highly efficient catalysts for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
In this work, the effect of Keggin polyoxometalates encapsulated in Keplerate {Mo72Fe30} shell (K shell) on the visible light-assisted catalase-like activity (H2O2 dismutation) of the resulting core-shell clusters PMo12@K, SiMo12@K, and BW12@K was investigated. Superior photodismutation activity of PMo12@K compared to that of K shell and two other core-shell clusters was discovered. The homogeneity of PMo12@K and its improved oxidative stability, increased redox potential, and reduced band gap caused by a synergistic effect between the Keplerate shell and Keggin core seem reasonable to explain such a superiority. The light-dependent photocatalytic performance of PMo12@K evaluated by action spectra revealed a maximum apparent quantum efficiency (AQY) at 400 nm, demonstrating the visible light-driven photocatalytic reaction. A first-order rate constant of 2 × 10-4 s-1 and activation energy of 108.8 kJ mol-1 alongside a turnover frequency of 0.036 s-1 and a total turnover number of up to ∼3800 approved the effective photocatalytic activity and improved the oxidative stability of PMo12@K. A nonradical photocatalytic mechanism through a Fe-OOH intermediate was proposed. Thus, the structure, optical activity, and oxidative stability of a host Keplerate-type nanocluster can be tuned significantly by encapsulation of a guest, like "cluster-in-cluster" structures, which opens the scope for introducing new visible light-sensitive hierarchical nanostructures.

Abstract
The reversible self-assembly of a {Mo72Fe30} cluster into nanoblackberries in a dilute solution of the relevant crystalline compound [Mo72Fe30O252(CH3COO)12{Mo2O7(H2O)}2{H2Mo2O8(H2O)}(H2O)91]·150H2O ({Mo72Fe30}cryst) was demonstrated by Liu, Müller, and their co-workers as a landmark discovery in the area of polyoxometalate chemistry. We have described, in the present work, how these ∼2.5 nm nano-objects, {M72Fe30} (M = W, Mo) can be self-assembled into nanoblackberries irreversibly, leading to their solid-state isolation as the nanomaterials Fe3[W72Fe30O252(CH3COO)2(OH)25(H2O)103]·180H2O ({W72Fe33}NM) and Na2[Mo72Fe30O252(CH3COO)4(OH)16(H2O)108]·180H2O ({Mo72Fe30}NM), respectively (NM stands for nanomaterial). The formulations of these one-pot-synthesized nanoblackberries of {W72Fe33}NM and {Mo72Fe30}NM have been established by spectral analysis including Raman spectroscopy, elemental analysis including ICP metal analysis, volumetric analysis (for iron), microscopy techniques, and DLS studies. The thermal stability of the tungsten nanoblackberries {W72Fe33}NM is much higher than that of its molybdenum analogue {Mo72Fe30}NM. This might due to the extra three ferric (Fe3+) ions per {W72Fe30} cluster in {W72Fe33}NM, which are not part of the {W72Fe30} cluster cage but are placed between two adjacent clusters (i.e., each cluster has six surrounding 0.5Fe3+) to form this self-assembly. The isolated blackberries behave like an inorganic acid, a water suspension of which shows pH values of 3.9 for {W72Fe33}NM and 3.7 for {Mo72Fe30}NM because of the deprotonation of the hydroxyl groups in them. We have demonstrated, for the first time, a meaningful application of these inexpensive and easily synthesized nanoblackberries by showing that they can act as electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) by reducing water. We have performed detailed kinetic studies for the electrocatalytic water reduction catalyzed by {W72Fe33}NM and {Mo72Fe30}NM in a comparative study. The relevant turnover frequencies (TOFs) of {W72Fe33}NM and {Mo72Fe30}NM (∼0.72 and ∼0.45 s-1, respectively), the overpotential values of {W72Fe33}NM and {Mo72Fe30}NM (527 and 767 mV, respectively at 1 mA cm-2), and the relative stability issues of the catalysts indicate that {W72Fe33}NM is reasonably superior to {Mo72Fe30}NM. We have described a rationale of why {W72Fe33}NM performs better than {Mo72Fe30}NM in terms of catalytic activity and stability.

Abstract
The hybridization of enzymes and inorganics in controlled manner is challenging, however, critical for the development of chemo-enzymatic cascade catalyst with high efficiency and selectivity. Here, proteins and metal oxide clusters can be facilely co-assembled on the surface of colloid of poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP) via hydrogen bonding, due to their enriched surface hydrogen bonding donors. The co-assembly method can be generally applied for preparing chemo-enzymatic catalyst within the selected database of various proteins and metal oxide clusters while the assembly units retain their structures and activities. Typically, a 2.5 nm metal oxide cluster {Mo72Fe30}, with peroxidase-like activity, are complexed with glucose oxidase (GOX) on P4VP for the catalysis against the oxidization of o-dianisidine (ODA) with the existence of glucose. Due to the synergistic effects of chemical and enzymatic catalysis, the co-assemblies show even higher ODA oxidation activity compared to GOX/catalase bi-enzymatic system, confirming the effectiveness of the co-assembly protocol for cascade catalysis and enabling its applications in rapid glucose detection and biomass conversion.

Abstract
In this study, the catalytic efficiency of amorphous {Mo72Fe30} nanocapsules as a safe Keplerate polyoxometalate in organic synthesis was exploited. The easy-made solid catalyst exhibited high efficiency using a very low dosage (0.02–0.05 mol%) in the catalyzed condensation of various aromatic 1,2-diamines and aldehydes for the aerobic synthesis of benzimidazoles with very small E-factor values (0.11–0.33). The superior catalytic activity of amorphous nanoclusters compared to that of its crystalline counterpart was demonstrated. The high activity and recyclability of heterogeneous catalysts in a green reaction media under oxygen atmosphere, make this environmentally benign organic process appropriate for our applied goals. Catalytic activity of amorphous {Mo72Fe30} nanoclusters as a safe Keplerate polyoxometalate in aerobic synthesis of benzimidazoles was described.![]()
