Monokristal-monokristal eraldaketak polioxometalatoetan oinarritutako sistemetan: termikoki aktibatutako zenbait adibide

Abstract

Phase transitions induced by external stimuli in which crystallinity is retained, so-called single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformations (SCSC), are being widely studied because they allow for i) obtaining products with novel characteristics and ii) correlating structural changes with how a given property of the material is modified. The use of building blocks that provide robustness to the system such as polyoxometalates (POM) are a suitable option to avoid the loss of crystallinity throughout the process. Among the scarce SCSC transformations reported to date for POM-based systems, it is worth highlighting the temperature-triggered examples. This work reviews the later cases with strong focus on the compounds obtained in our research group and their applications (catalysis and selective gas sorption).
