Molecular and Polymeric Hybrids Based on Covalently Linked Polyoxometalates and Transition‐Metal Complexes

Abstract

A rational building-block approach was employed to construct organometallic/polyoxometalate (POM) hybrids in which POM clusters and transition-metal complexes are linked by a π-conjugated bridge. The synthetic strategy for molecular and polymeric hybrids—POM functionalization with iodo-bearing groups, attachment of a terpyridine-type ligand, and metal coordination—is shown schematically in the picture.
