Applications of Polyoxometalates as Electron Mediators

Abstract

The large variety of size, structure and elemental composition of polyoxometalates leads to a wide range of different properties. The primary goal of this dissertation is to study the structure-property relationship of polyoxometalates and to employ these versatile molecules as electron mediator in nano-scale. Stability of some polyoxometalates in the presence of metal ions in aqueous environment will also be discussed.
