We report the design and preparation of multifunc-tional hybrid nanomaterials through the stabilization of goldnanoparticles with thiol-functionalised hybrid organic–inor-ganic polyoxometalates (POMs). The covalent attachment ofthe hybrid POM forms new nanocomposites that are stable attemperatures and pH values which destroy analogous...

The effects that the solvent exerts on the end-capping process of a pseudorotaxane formed by the[Ru(NH3)5(4,4′-bpy)]2+complex and -cyclodextrin were studied. In this process the 4,4′-bpy ligand acts asrigid axle and the cyclodextrin as ring or macrocycle. The stopper used was the [Fe(CN)5H2O]3-complex.The solvents used were mixtures of...

Five chiral iron-containing ionic liquids were synthetized from several chiral ionic liquids (CILs) based on different imidazolium cations. These novel compounds were prepared through an easy synthetic method involving mixing 1 equivalent of iron salt FeX3 (X = Cl or Br) and 1 equivalent of chiral ionic liquid. The soobtained chiral iron-based...

Quinuclidinium salts and their derivatives are now in the focus of materials science as building units of multifunctional materials. Their properties can be easily switchable, allowing their use in a wide range of physical applications. One type of these kinds of materials, the homochiral hybrid halometallate ferroelectric compounds, is not...
