Photo/radiosensitizers, such as octahedral molybdenum clusters (Mo6), have been intensively studied for photodynamic applications to treat various diseases. However, their delivery to the desired target can be hampered by its limited solubility, low...
Due to their high abundance, polymeric character, and chemical tunability, polysaccharides are perfect candidates for the stabilization of photoactive nanoscale objects, which are of great interest in modern science but can be unstable in aqueous med...
Despite that the chemistry of octahedral cluster complexes has been actively developed recently, there are still a lot of unexplored areas. For example, to date, only a few halide M6-clusters with N-heterocycles are known. Here, we obtained an apical...
Thin and transparent Mo6 cluster films with significant optical properties were prepared on indium tin oxide (ITO)-coated glass plates from the suspension of Cs2Mo6Br14 cluster precursors dispersed in methyl-ethyl-ketone (MEK) by an electrophoretic d...
Emissions of various organic pollutants in the environment becomes a more and more acute problem in the modern world as they can lead to an ecological disaster in foreseeable future. The current situation forces scientists to develop numerous methods...
Heavy oil resources are attracting considerable interest in terms of sustaining energy demand. However, the exploitation of such resources requires deeper understanding of the processes occurring during their development. Promising methods currently...
The high-performance defect-rich MoS2 dominated by sulfur vacancies as well as Mo-rich environments have been extensively studied in many fields, such as nitrogen reduction reactions, hydrogen evolution reactions, as well as sensing devices for NH3,...
Host–guest assemblies open up opportunities for developing novel functional CLUSPOM multicomponent systems based on transition metal clusters (CLUS), polyoxometalates (POMs) and macrocyclic organic ligands. In water–ethanol solution &gamm...
The family of chalcogenide molybdenum clusters is well presented in the literature by a series of compounds of nuclearity ranging from binuclear to multinuclear articulating octahedral fragments. Clusters actively studied in the last decades were sho...
The chemistry of transition metal clusters has been intensively developed in the last decades, leading to the preparation of a number of compounds with promising and practically useful properties. In this context, the present work demonstrates the pr...
Halide clusters have not been used as catalysts. Hexanuclear molecular halide clusters of niobium, tantalum, molybdenum, and tungsten possessing an octahedral metal framework are chosen as catalyst precursors. The prepared clusters have no metal–meta...
The low absorption of biological substances and living tissues in the red/near-infrared region (therapeutic window) makes luminophores emitting in the range of ~650–1350 nm favorable for in vitro and in vivo imaging. In contrast to commonly use...
