Abstract

A bottom-up approach to obtain nano-cluster and large, uniform vesicle-like structures containing organic functionalized hexamolybdates in solution state were developed. Hexamolybdate functionalized carboxylic acid coordinated with two copper ions to form paddle-wheel tetrapolyoxometalate clusters with the features of macroions, which can spontaneously assemble into large, stable blackberry-type structures in suitable solvents, completing a hierarchical organization from small POM molecules to nano-scale complexes and then to supramolecular structures.
