The view that POMs might represent molecular versions of semiconductor metal oxide particles has been addressed repeatedly by several groups.301,389,394 While POMs and colloidal semiconductor metal oxide particles have some features in common, some features of the both the excited states and the reduced ground states resulting from photoredox chemistry of the two types of clusters are clearly distinct.
