| The chemistry of polyvanadates is blossoming. These new species exhibit a much larger structural diversity than polymolybdates and polytungstates. This dissertation presents the study of a few new and novel polyvanadates which have been successfully synthesized and fully characterized. These polyoxometalates exhibit new structural features and properties which may lead to chemical applications.;A new polyvanadate, (;Another new polyvanadate, (;A new synthetic strategy for preparing polyoxometalates has been developed. This new methodology involves reacting excess hydrogen peroxide (... |
