A Supramolecular Tetra-Keggin Polyoxometalate

Giant polyoxometalates with catalytic, magnetic, and antiviral properties, which are in part attributable to their structures, are currently of great interest. Herein is described the synthesis and characterization of 1, a structurally novel tetrameric complex from Keggin ions (see picture). This co...

Description
Summary:Giant polyoxometalates with catalytic, magnetic, and antiviral properties, which are in part attributable to their structures, are currently of great interest. Herein is described the synthesis and characterization of 1, a structurally novel tetrameric complex from Keggin ions (see picture). This complex is stable under the physiological conditions of the stomach (pH 1-2), which is interesting since related keggin anions are among the least toxic and yet most potent antiviral agents of the more than 300 polyoxometalates investigated biologically and pharmacologically.
