Electrochemical investigation of molecular growth of the {Mo 57V 6} polyoxometalate cluster

The reduction of the {Mo 57V 6} polyoxometalate cluster which shows an interesting molecular growth process, modelling biological molybdenum uptake into a storage protein, was investigated electrochemically. The electrochemical features of the growth process were studied by using cyclic voltammetry,...

More Information
Summary:The reduction of the {Mo 57V 6} polyoxometalate cluster which shows an interesting molecular growth process, modelling biological molybdenum uptake into a storage protein, was investigated electrochemically. The electrochemical features of the growth process were studied by using cyclic voltammetry, either as such or associated with bulk electrolysis. Resonance Raman spectroscopy was also used to identify the reduction products.
