title: The synthesis of silica nanospheres doped with polyoxometalates.
abstract: The hetero-polyoxometalate (POM) Na13[Eu(SiMoW10O39)2] displayed enhanced luminescence when coordinated to compounds with a common amine functionality. The POM was then doped into silica spheres and was found to be confined to the particle core when added with an amine-based polymer.
