The hybrid compound [{Cu(cyclam)}3(W7O24)]⋅15.5 H2O (1) (cyclam=1,4,8,11-tetraaza-cyclotetradecane) was synthesized by reacting the {Cu(cyclam)}2+ complex with a tungstate source in water at pH 8. Compound 1 exhibits an unprecedented three-dimensional covalent structure built of heptatungstate clusters linked through metalorganic complexes in a POMOF-like framework that displays water-filled channels. This dynamic architecture undergoes two sequential single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformations upon thermal evacuation of water molecules to result in the partially dehydrated [{Cu(cyclam)}3(W7O24)]⋅12 H2O (2) and anhydrous [Cu(cyclam)]0.5[{Cu(cyclam)}2.5(W7O24)] (3) crystalline phases. These transitions are associated with cluster rotations and modifications in the CuII coordination geometries, which reduce the dimensionality of the original lattice to layered systems but preserving the porous nature. Phase 3 reverts to 2 upon exposure to ambient moisture, whereas the transition between 1 and 2 proved to be irreversible. The permanent microporosity of 3 was confirmed by gas sorption measurements (N2, CO2), which reveal a system of parallel channels made of wide cavities connected through narrow necks that limit the adsorption process. This observation is in good agreement with Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulations.

Immobilization of polyoxometalates on tailored polymeric surfaces
(MDPI, 2018) Aguado-Ureta, Saioa; Rodríguez-Hernández, Juan; Campo, Adolfo del; Pérez-Álvarez, Leyre; Ruiz-Rubio, Leire; Vilas, José Luis; Artetxe, Beñat; Reinoso, Santiago; Gutiérrez Zorrilla, Juan M.; Ciencias; Zientziak
Herein we describe the preparation of hybrid polymer–inorganic interfaces by the immobilization of polyoxometalate nanoclusters on functionalized polymer surfaces. The polymeric surfaces were made of polystyrene-b-poly(acrylic acid)/polystyrene (PS-b-PAA/PS) blends by spin coating on a silicon wafer. The functionalization of the polymer film was obtained by interfacial migration of the amphiphilic block copolymer toward the interface upon water vapor annealing. The carboxylic acid functional groups contained in the PAA block were then employed to anchor the [LnIII(α-SiW11O39)]5− polyoxometalates (Ln: Ce, Er). This purpose was achieved by immersing the films in aqueous solutions of the in situ-formed inorganic nanoclusters. X-ray photoelectron and confocal Raman spectroscopies, together with atomic force microscopy, confirmed the immobilization of the inorganic species at the interface.

Consecutive single-crystal-to-single-crystal isomerization of novel octamolybdate anions within a microporous hybrid framework with robust water sorption properties
(Wiley, 2023) Ruiz Bilbao, Estíbaliz; Iturrospe, Amaia; Reinoso, Santiago; Artetxe, Beñat; Beobide, Garikoitz; San Felices, Leire; Lezama, Luis; Gutiérrez Zorrilla, Juan M.; Darwish, Shaza; Sensharma, Debobroto; Zaworotko, Michael J.; Ciencias; Zientziak; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2
The 3D hybrid framework [{Cu(cyclam)}3(kMo8O27)]· 14H2O (1) (cyclam=1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) undergoes sequential single-crystal-to-singlecrystal transformations upon heating to afford two different anhydrous phases (2 a and 3a). These transitions modify the framework dimensionality and enable the isomerization of k-octamolybdate (k-Mo8) anions into λ (2 a) and μ (3 a) forms through metal migration. Hydration of 3 a involves condensation of one water molecule to the cluster to afford the γ-Mo8 isomer in 4, which dehydrates back into 3a through the 6a intermediate. In contrast, 2a reversibly hydrates to form 5, exhibiting the same Mo8 cluster as that of 1. It is remarkable that three of the Mo8 clusters (k, λ and μ) are new and that up to three different microporous phases can be isolated from 1 (2 a, 3a, and 6a). Water vapor sorption analyses show high recyclability and the highest uptake values for POM-based systems. The isotherms display an abrupt step at low humidity level desirable for humidity control devices or water harvesting in drylands.

Polioxometalatoak: elhuyar anaien ametsak bizirik dirau!
(Universidad del País Vasco, 2017) Artetxe, Beñat; Reinoso, Santiago; Gutiérrez Zorrilla, Juan M.; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2
Polioxometalatoak (POMak) kimika ez-organikoaren munduan ezagunak diren metalez eta oxigenoz osatutako kluster anionikoak dira. Azaldu ohi duten forma, konposizio eta propietate aniztasunaren ondorioz, POMek aplikazio ugari dituzte teknologiari, ekonomiari edo ingurugiroari lotutako arlo ezberdinetan. Nahiz eta aspaldidanik aplikazio katalitikoetan erabili, gaur egun etorkizunerako garrantzitsuak izango diren esparru oso ezberdinetarako ikertzen ari dira, besteak beste, hondakin-uren tratamenduan, medikuntzan, konputazio kuantikoan, energia-iturri berriztagarrietan edota sentsore kimiko lumineszenteetan. Horrengatik guztiagatik, polioxometalatoen kimika, etorkizun handiko kimika ezorganikoaren alorreko esparru dinamikoenetariko bat dela baiezta genezake.
