Abstract
![]()
Molybdenum blues
(MBs) are a distinct class of polyoxometalates,
exhibiting versatile/impressive architectures and high structural
flexibility. In acidified and reduced aqueous environments, isopolymolybdates
generate precisely organizable building blocks, which enable unique
nanoscopic molecular systems (MBs) to be constructed and further fine-tuned
by hetero elements such as lanthanide (Ln) ions. This Review discusses
wheel-shaped MB-based structure types with strong emphasis on the
∼30 Ln-containing MBs as of August 2021, which include both
organically hybridized and nonhybridized structures synthesized to
date. The spotlight is thereby put on the lanthanide ions and ligand
types, which are crucial for the resulting Ln-patterns and alterations
in the gigantic structures. Several critical steps and reaction conditions
in their synthesis are highlighted, as well as appropriate methods
to investigate them both in solid state and in solution. The final
section addresses the homogeneous/heterogeneous catalytic, molecular
recognition and separation properties of wheel-shaped Ln-MBs, emphasizing
their inimitable behavior and encouraging their application in these
areas.

Abstract
The discovery of new gigantic molecules formed by self-assembly and crystal growth is challenging as it combines two contingent events; first is the formation of a new molecule, and second its crystallization. Herein, we construct a workflow that can be followed manually or by a robot to probe the envelope of both events and employ it for a new polyoxometalate cluster, Na6 [Mo120 Ce6 O366 H12 (H2 O)78 ]⋅200 H2 O (1) which has a trigonal-ring type architecture (yield 4.3 % based on Mo). Its synthesis and crystallization was probed using an active machine-learning algorithm developed by us to explore the crystallization space, the algorithm results were compared with those obtained by human experimenters. The algorithm-based search is able to cover ca. 9 times more crystallization space than a random search and ca. 6 times more than humans and increases the crystallization prediction accuracy to 82.4±0.7 % over 77.1±0.9 % from human experimenters.
