Anderson-type polyoxometalates for catalytic applications

Anderson-type polyoxometalates have exhibited remarkable catalytic capabilities in a wide range of reactions. This discourse delves into the distinct categories of Anderson POMs and their respective catalytic reactions, which are examined in separate segments. These encompass the straightforward {XMo₆} POMs, the organic grafting {XMo₆} POMs, and the integration of POMs into POM cluster organic frameworks. It is important to highlight that specific catalytic functionalities can solely be accomplished via the utilization of Anderson-type POMs, thus emphasizing their indispensable role in future explorations.
