Polyoxometalates as inorganic chiral ligands for the synthesis of chiral nanoparticles.
Inherent chiral polyoxometalates, while acting as stabilizers, are developed into inorganic chiral ligands for the synthesis of chiral metal nanoparticles. The generated optical activity and stabilization of the nanoparticles are found to source from the strong interaction with polyoxometalate clusters.
