The transformation of three types of polyoxovanadates, {(n-C₄H₉)₄N}₃[H₃V₁₀O₂₈], {(n-C₄H₉)₄N}₄[V₁₂O₃₂] and {(n-C₄H₉)₄N}₃[V₁₃O₃₄] have been investigated according to the rational chemical equations, and the best transformation conditions were reported...

The 8-yttrium(III)-containing 81-tungsto-8-arsenate(III) [Y₈(CH₃COO)(H₂O)₁₈(As₂W₁₉O₆₈)₄(W₂O₆)₂(WO₄)]⁴³⁻ (1) has been synthesized in a one-pot reaction of yttrium(III) ions with [B-α-AsW₉O₃₃]⁹⁻ in 1 M NaOAc/HOAc buffer at pH 4.8. Polyanion 1 is compos...

Hybrid organic-inorganic polyoxometalates (POMs) were synthesized in water by the reaction of a Mo^VI precursor with bisphosphonate ligands functionalized by pyridine groups. The fully oxidized POM [(Mo^VI₃O₈)₂(O)(O₃PC(O)(C₃H₆NH₂CH₂C₅H₄NH)PO₃)₂]⁴⁻ has...

A series of eight new materials based on the ionic association between 1-methyl-3-alkylimidazolium cations and the nanometric anionic Keplerate [Mo₁₃₂O₃₇₂(CH₃COO)₃₀(H₂O)₇₂]⁴²⁻ has been prepared and characterized in the solid state. The liquid crysta...

The interaction between human serum albumin (HSA) and a series of Zr(IV)-substituted polyoxometalates (POMs) (Lindqvist type POM ((ⁿBu₄N)₆[{W₅O₁₈Zr (μ-OH)}₂]·2H₂O, Zr2-L2), two Keggin type POMs ((Et₂NH₂)₁₀[Zr(PW₁₁O₃₉)₂]·7H₂O, Zr1-K2 and (Et₂NH₂)₈[{...

Three new hybrid inorganic-metalorganic compounds containing Keggin-type polyoxometalates, neutral copper(II)-picolinate complexes and guanidinium cations have been synthesized in bench conditions and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared s...

Metal-substituted hemoproteins have been examined by biochemists for decades, but their potential for diverse functionalities has not been thoroughly investigated. By replacing hemoproteins with non-native metals, heme-containing proteins could be ca...

This short review summarizes our contribution to the coordination chemistry of noble metals (organometallic fragments of Rh, Ir, Ru and hydroxo Pt(IV)) and polyoxocomplexes of niobium and tantalum.

A novel hybrid nanocomposite, PMo₁₁V@N-doped few layer graphene, was prepared by a one-step protocol through direct immobilization of the tetrabutylammonium salt of a vanadium-substituted phosphomolybdate (PMo₁₁V) onto N-doped few layer graphene (N-F...

Starting very early, with the findings of Zeise, or Pope and Peachey, organoplatinum complexes were studied intensely in the 1970s and 1980s and were found to be quite stable and very versatile. From then on, the number of publications on organoplati...

Gold is emerging as a potential therapeutic agent in the treatment of arthritis, cancer and AIDS. The therapeutic mechanism of arthritic gold drugs and their modification in the presence of stomach hydrochloric acid, in the joints, and in the presenc...

The five coordinate organoplatinum complex [Pt(bpy)(cod)(Me)][SbF₆] (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene, bpy = 2,2’-bipyridine) was obtained reacting [Pt(cod)(Me)Cl] with Ag[SbF₆] and bpy and characterized by multiple spectroscopy (IR and NMR) and single crys...

The synthesis of complex functional inorganic materials, such as oxides, can be successfully performed by using microwave irradiation as the source of heat. To achieve this, different routes and set-ups can be used: microwave-assisted synthesis may p...

A new heteroaromatic thiophene containing organoimido functionalized hexamolybdate has been synthesized and characterized in both solid form and solution. Structural analysis shows successful introduction of the organoimido ligand through replacement...

Two pyridine-functionalized coumarins differing with respect to the site of pyridine attachment to the coumarin dye (3 in L1 or 7 in L2) and with respect to the presence (L1) or absence (L2) of a peripheral NMe₂ donor were prepared and used as cyclom...
