Chirality in Polyoxometalate Chemistry

Abstract 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, ii) chiral polyoxometalate frameworks, and iii) chiral polyoxometalate–organic hybrids. Through the discussion of selected examples, an outline for future work is drawn. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2008)
