Polynuclear clusters fill the gap between mononuclear and extended solid transition metal vibronic systems. The applications of the theory of vibronic interaction allow to describe physical and chemical properties of these systems, sometimes directly linked to their application. The Jahn-Teller distortion found for the rhenium clusters defines the architecture of hybrid inorganic-organic materials and, as a result, their electric and magnetic properties. The application of the vibronic theory to the decatungstate cluster elucidates the details of its reactivity in the photocatalytic reaction. The modern DFT methods give a key to the calculations of key parameters of the vibronic theory. In future, we will assist at the combination of these methods with phenomenological approaches leading to the description of vibronic effects in physical and chemical properties of polynuclear clusters from first principles. 

Depending on the conditions and chemical precursors used for mesoporous materials synthesis, different morphologies, such as hexagonal, cubic, or lamellar, and different pore sizes can be obtained (Fig. 9.2). Additionally, these materials can easily be functionalized with organic groups to produce a variety of hybrid inorganic-organic materials with new properties, which directly affect the functionality of the enzyme [91, 92].

Furthermore, exploitation of fundamental coordination chemistry for solid state synthesis affords a variety of metal ions with preferred coordination geometries and numerous ligand architectures for the construction of metal-organic composite materials. Such hybrid inorganic-organic materials exhibit useful physical properties with applications to optics," magnetism," transport," thermochromism," and conductance. ...
