Polyoxometalates have emerged as promising bactericidal agents. In the current study, the bactericidal activity of polyoxometalate K[PMoO] against () O157:H7 and its possible underlying mechanisms were explored. The obtained results demonstrated that K[PMoO] could effectively kill O157:H7 at millimolar levels. Moreover, K[PMoO] treatment also induced significant increases in recA protein expression and further triggered characteristic apoptosis-like bacterial death events such as DNA fragmentation and phosphatidylserine exposure. In conclusion, polyoxometalate K[PMoO] possesses a desirable antibacterial activity, and induction of bacterial apoptosis-like death might be involved in its underlying bactericidal mechanisms.

Photochromic films have attracted increasing attention for their potential in information storage and photoswitchable devices. Developing novel photochromic materials is still a highly challenging topic. In this work, we successfully obtained an unprecedented mixed-heteroatom-templated Er-incorporated polyoxometalate [HN(CH)]NaKH{Er(HO)WO[SeTeWO][B-α-TeWO]}·117HO () by concurrently introducing the [TeO] and [SeO] heteroanion templates into the Er/WO system.

The spin coherence phenomena of a system consisting of a mononuclear 3d transition metal = 1/2 centre embedded in a polyoxometalate with low nuclear-spin abundance, [(-CH)N]H[SiWOCuZn], have been revealed for the first time. Variable-temperature Hahn-echo experiments using the pulsed electron spin resonance technique showed that its coherence lifetime remains at the submicrosecond level even above 100 K.

Reducing toxic metal concentrations to extremely low levels has long posed a challenge. Polyoxometalate supported ionic liquids (POM-SILs) offer significant potential for advanced water remediation, but their application is limited by complex preparation, toxic solvents, and poor stability due to leaching, compromising sustainability. We introduced a sustainable approach for selectively removing Pb(II) in complex electroplating wastewater using charged POM-SILs composite, synthesized by directly grafting lacunary Keggin ions ([α-SiWO], SiW) onto charged ammoniated polystyrene via a straightforward, solvent-free process.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on improving proton conductivities in polyoxometalate-based metal-organic frameworks (POMOFs) by selecting suitable organic ligands, resulting in the development of two new compounds, CUST-961 and CUST-962.* -
  • Both compounds were synthesized using a hydrothermal method and showed strong stability across various temperatures and humidity levels, confirmed through techniques like powder X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis.* -
  • CUST-961 demonstrated significantly higher proton conductivity than CUST-962, attributed to its higher number of uncoordinated carboxylic acid groups that enhance hydrogen bonding and proton sources, highlighting a novel approach to creating proton conductive materials.*
