Chirality in Polyoxometalate Chemistry

The increasing use of polyoxometalates in the fields of material sciences, catalysis, and biology has raised the interest in chirality of such systems. This review provides a summary of the different strategies followed: i) chirality in solid-state arrangements, H) chiral polyoxometalate frameworks, and iii) chiral polyoxometalate-organic hybrids. Through the discussion of selected examples, an outline for future work is drawn. (c) Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2008)
