Controllable growth of polyoxometalate based building blocks : towards the construction of clusters, arrays and nanostructures

The work presented in this thesis describes routes to the controlled growth of small polyoxometalate clusters achieved by utilising a range of organic counterions in conjunction with electrophilic Ag(I) ions. The subsequent isolation of a new building block; {Ag(β-Mo8O26)Ag} has demonstrated how sub...
