Chemists are investigating a substance class for biological and pharmaceutical applications. Annette Rompel and her team of the Department of Biophysical Chemistry at the University of Vienna are investigating so-called polyoxometalates. These compounds exhibit a great diversity and offer the scientists a wide range of applications. In interaction with enzymes they can enable the crystallization of proteins. On the other hand, the polyoxometalates represent compounds with an enormous application potential in catalysis and materials science. Polyoxometalates (POM) are a substance class consisting of anionic metal oxide clusters, which have a great structural diversity and outstanding properties and therefore offer a wide range of possible applications. One of the most prominent POM structures is the so-called Anderson-Evans structure, which is studied intensively by Rompel's working group.
