Hydrothermal synthesis and physical studies of cobalt substituted trilacunary polyoxotungstates

In order to enrich structural chemistry of polyoxometalates and further expand or optimize their applications, researchers have started to design and construct functionalized POMs. In this article, one pot synthesis of a new Co-substituted Keggin-type polyoxometalate (POM) was successfully executed under hydrothermal conditions. The research performed here deals with the synthesis and spectral characterization of novel POMs and the investigation of their physicochemical properties.
