Polioxometalatoak: Elhuyar anaien ametsak bizirik dirau!

Abstract

Polyoxometalates (POMs) are a well known class of anionic metal-oxygen clusters within the area of inorganic chemistry, with a large variety of shapes, compositions and structures. These features make POMs unique compounds with a wide range of applications in current fields of interest related to technology, economy and environment. In spite of their traditional use as catalysts, they are nowadays being explored for very different issues such as wastewater treatment, medicine, quantum computing, renewable energies or luminescent sensors. Therefore, POM chemistry can be considered as one of the most dynamic fields of the inorganic chemistry, as well as one of the fields with the greatest future.
