Nanoscaled Clusters with Unusual Form-Function Relationships

Nanoscaled Clusters with Unusual Form-Function Relationships 

Let us continue our tour of sophisticated nanostructures by giving some striking examples of the multifaceted form-functionality correlation principles involved. The following parent cluster types will be considered (here we refer to earlier published reviews)  

Wheel-shaped clusters of the type M0154 and Moiyg [3, 6] with large central cavities that can be easily modified by means of simple well-known chemical 

The giant wheel molyhdenum-oxide based anions can be considered as objects which show a variety of nanoscale structural functionalities ( nanostructured landscape ) not only allowing reactions at a variety of well-defined centres/groups but also offering the option of acting as potential nano-reactors or -containers. Some relevant reactions are  

Paramagnetic metal centres like Cu ions can be incorporated into the cavities spanned by four O atoms and having the appropriate size, for example in case of the Moi54 -type rings. This type of reaction can lead to the formation of nano-objects with unique neutral magnetic properties [11].
