The main fields of our investigations are the syntheses and structure analyses
of polyoxometallates (Mo, W, Ta) and halo-d10-metallates (Cu, Ag, Zn, Cd).
In both groups of compounds the polyanion structures and the resulting
properties of the corresponding compounds such as reactivity, catalytic
activity, possibility of ion exchange or electrical conductivity (super ionics)
are controlled by the size, shape and charge of the cations present. For this
reason we systematically prepare polyoxometallates and halo-d10-metallates
with a variety of inorganic and organic cations. The aim of our research is the
isolation of new types of anions as well as to find new networks of
known polyanions formed by using suitable cations leading to solid state
compounds with unusual structures and properties.
