Research Bremen

The POMLab

ThePOMLab has a long tradition in the synthesis and structural characterization of discrete polyoxometalates (POMs). Their physicochemical properties in areas such as catalysis, magnetism, electrochemistry, and biomedicine are also investigated (partially in collaboration). We are particularly interested in d- and f-block metal-containing heteropolytungstates as well as polyoxo-noble-metalates, in particular polyoxopalladates (POPs). Academic as well as industrial projects are being investigated. Some research highlights are the discovery of (i) polyoxopalladates in 2008 (P13As8), (ii) polyoxoaurates in 2010 (Au4As40), and (iii) transition metal-containing derivatives of the wheel-shaped P8W48 wheel in 2005 (Cu20P8W48).
