Synthesis and Characterization of POMs-Based Coordination Polymer: A Comprehensive Chemical Experiment

Abstract

: Herein, we introduce a novel comprehensive chemical experiment called the synthesis and characterization of polyoxometalates (POMs)-based coordination polymer. Through the synthesis of POMs, organic ligand, POMs-based coordination polymer and corresponding characterization, the undergraduate students can learn about POMs-based coordination polymers, the frontier of inorganic synthetic chemistry. In the process of material synthesis and characterization, the ability of knowledge integration and the interest of chemistry learning have been improved. This experiment combines the knowledge of inorganic and organic chemistry as well as the training of experiments, instruments and data analysis capabilities, which can be used as a comprehensive chemical experiment for senior students.
