Summary:Anderson-type polyoxometalates (POMs) are one of the most important and widely developed groups of the POM family. The covalent functionalization of Anderson POMs has attracted extensive attention and facilitated broad applications of the resultant POM hybrids in catalysis, biology, energy materials and medicine. Among the various synthetic methods for Anderson hybrids, asymmetric functionalization has been one of the hottest and unique topics in the last decade. In the structure of asymmetric Anderson hybrids, two different organic components are anchored onto each side of the Anderson cluster or only one side of the cluster is functionalized. Asymmetric functionalization provides complexity to POM assemblies and merges multiple functions into one hybrid molecule, meanwhile, bringing challenges of rational design and controllable synthetic strategies. In this review, the latest progress in the synthetic methods and applications of asymmetrically functionalized Anderson-type POMs is summarized according to the central heteroatom of the cluster, which includes Mn-, Cr-, Al- and other metal-templated Anderson POMs. Asymmetrically functionalized Anderson-type polyoxometalates were overviewed, including the key factors of various synthesis methods, separation methods, advantages of asymmetric structures, and their applications.

Chang-Gen Lin received his BS degree from Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT) in 2010, and completed his PhD under the supervision of Prof. Yu-Fei Song at the same university in 2015. After a two-year postdoc at BAIC-SM, he was appointed as a lecturer at BUCT. In 2019, he was awarded a CSC scholarship to work with Prof. Leroy Cronin at the University of Glasgow on 3D printing and automated chemical synthesis. One year later he returned to BUCT, where he is now an associate professor of chemistry. His research interests include supramolecular self-assembly, organic-inorganic polyoxometalate hybrids, and photo-/electro-responsive materials.
