Catalytic Consequences of Composition in Polyoxometalate Clusters with Keggin Structure
The research described in this product was performed in part in the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory, a national scientific user facility sponsored by the Department of Energy's Office of Biological and Environmental Research and located at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Reliable correlations among structure, composition, and function in heterogeneous catalysis require well-defined atomic connectivity within active structures and the assessment of the specific elementary steps and reaction intermediates responsible for the relevant catalytic function. The non-uniform nature of typical active structures creates significant challenges because probes of structure and function average such heterogeneity in complex ways. Polyoxometalate (POM) clusters with stable Keggin structures and well-defined atomic connectivity provide the compositional diversity required for a rigorous assessment of the consequences of composition on catalytic reactivity.
