Investigating polyoxometalate self-assembly : from structural building units towards novel molecules and framework materials

This thesis focuses on the reactivity of polyoxometalate (POM) building blocks; more specifically, those derived from the Keggin {M12} and Wells-Dawson {M18} structural motifs. Lacunary Keggin and Wells-Dawson cages, i.e. those containing metal-atom site vacancies, are highly reactive and versatile...
