Building block libraries and structural considerations in the self-assembly of polyoxometalate and polyoxothiometalate systems
Inorganic metal-oxide clusters form a class of compounds that are unique in their topological and electronic versatility and are becoming increasingly more important in a variety of applications. Namely, Polyoxometalates (POMs) have shown an unmatched range of physical properties and the ability to form structures that can bridge several length scales. The formation of these molecular clusters is often ambiguous and is governed by self-assembly processes that limit our ability to rationally design such molecules. However, recent years have shown that by considering new building block principles the design and discovery of novel complex clusters is aiding our understanding of this process. Now with current progress in thiometalate chemistry, specifically polyoxothiometalates (POTM), the field of inorganic molecular clusters has further diversified allowing for the targeted development of molecules with specific functionality. This chapter discusses the main differences between POM and POTM systems and how this affects synthetic methodologies and reactivities. We will illustrate how careful structural considerations can lead to the generation of novel building blocks and further deepen our understanding of complex systems

A comparison of the mechanical behavior of AlSi7Mg alloy produced through additive manufacturing and subjected to different heat treatment and aging conditions
The versatility and adaptability of Aluminum F357 (AlSi7Mg) make it a popular material in the
aerospace and defense industries. In this study, two different laser powder bed fusion systems,
EOS M290, and SLM 280HL were used to create specimens of Aluminum F357. These
specimens were subjected to five different heat treatments: As-built, stress relief (SR), hot
isostatic pressing (HIP), T6, and HIP+T6) as per ASTM F3318-18 standard. The printed
specimens were then reduced to tensile bars through machining and tested for mechanical
properties as per ASTM E28 using an MTS Landmark tensile testing system. In addition to the
mechanical behavior analysis, the study used a JEOL JSM-IT500 SEM to observe and document
the fracture produced by the tensile test and a Qness 30 CHD Master+ microhardness testing
system to obtain hardness (HV) values of the alloy. The results showed that specimens fabricated
in the Z direction had a tendency for higher yield strengths of approximately 225 MPa and
although these results were similar between LPBF systems some variances can still be seen.
However, these differences between the LPBF systems were observed to be partially mitigated
by heat treatments. In conclusion, this study highlights the significance of heat treatment on the
mechanical properties of Aluminum F357. The results provide valuable information for the
aerospace and defense industries to optimize their processes and produce high-quality
components. The compatibility of LPBF system fabrication and the mitigation of differences
observed between LPBF machines by heat treatments, further demonstrate the potential of this
method for producing high-quality Aluminum F357 components.Mechanical Engineerin
