Molecular metal oxides or polyoxometalates (POMs) arecharacterised in large part by their rich redox and photo-chemistry, leading to applications in catalysis, nano-scale electronicsand magnetism. They can be organofunctionalised to form organic-inorganic hybrid systems with new synergic properties.
The electronic structure and photo-catalytic performance of organic-inorganic hybrid POMs can be tuned through simple manipulation of the appended organic moieties. Here, recent findings on the tuneable redox properties, photochemistry and supramolecular assembly of hybrid molecular metal oxides will be discussed with particular focus on their application as additives in new functional materials.Graham N. Newton is an Assistant Professor in Inorganic and Materials Chemistry and Nottingham Research Fellow at the University of Nottingham (UK). He completed his PhD under the guidance of Prof. Lee Cronin at the University of Glasgow (UK) before moving to the University of Tsukuba (Japan) in 2008 to work with Prof. Hiroki Oshio on a JSPS postdoctoral fellowship, investigating the synthesis and properties of multistable clusters. He was appointed Assistant Professor at the University of Tsukuba in April 2011, before returning to the UK and the University of Nottingham in 2015. His research is focused on the development of redox- and photo-active advanced molecular materials for applications in energy technologies.
