This Review covers the recent developments (2005–2015) in the design, synthesis,
characterization, and application of thermotropic ionic liquid crystals. It was designed to give …

The photoluminescence properties of rare-earth (lanthanide) compounds have been
fascinating researchers for decades. 1-14 An attractive feature of luminescent lanthanide …

Lanthanopolyoxometalates (LnPOMs), obtained through the coordination of
polyoxometalates (POMs) and lanthanide ions (Ln), have received extraordinary interest of …

Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of Rare Earths: Including Actinides is a continuous
series of books covering all aspects of rare earth science, including chemistry, life sciences …

The assembly of polyoxometalate (POM) metal–oxygen clusters into ordered nanostructures
is attracting a growing interest for catalytic and sensing applications. However, assembly of …

We report the construction of dumbbell-shaped hybrid molecules for programming their
hierarchical supramolecular nanostructures through a synergetic self-assembly. Our first …

Polyoxometalate (POM) compounds constitute a wide family rich of more than several
thousand inorganic compounds which can be finely tuned at the molecular level …

We report the fabrication, structure, and heteropolyanion structure effect of polyoxometalate
(POM)/ionic liquid (IL) supramolecular gels. These supramolecular gels exhibit ordered …
