Ready-to-be-addressed oxo-clusters: individualized, periodically organized and separated from the substrate†
Abstract
Clusters and oxo-clusters are drawing attention for their amazing physical properties, especially at the scale of the single molecule. However, chemical methods to organize them individually on a surface are still lacking. In this study we show that it is possible to periodically organize individual polyoxometalates thanks to their ordering by a new supramolecular assembly.
