This new course will be held differently from planned due to the problems with Covid-19. We have decided to delay the start to a time where it is more likley that we will be able to hold the course in a more interactive format than an e-course can provide. The teaching time of the course will therefore be extended to take this into account. The details are as follows:
Course starts on 03.06.2020 and ends on 22.07.2020 running from 09:45 to 12:00 on Wednesdays with a "comfort break" at 10:45-11:00.
Place: Zoom: Link Here.
Course Details:
Materials based on molecular transition metal cluster building block units are discussed. The clusters are polynuclear coordination clusters (CCs) or polyoxometalates (POMs) which can be used to form hybrids. These can be discreet zero-dimensional nanoscale units or can be arranged into one, two or three dimensional networks. Hybrids include the recently identified area of POMOFs (POMs organised into Metal Organic Frameworks – MOFs) as well as giant CC-POM hybrids which use the POMs as inorganic super ligands for functional CCs.
The synthesis and properties of these materials will be discussed. In particular, functions such as catalysis, magnetic and optical properties, use as contrast agents and electrochemical properties will be described.
