Sumario:Giant Polyoxometalates : Dynamic Structure and Reactivity. <br/><br/>In this thesis different methods were used to study several systems in which giant polyoxometalates are involved. The validity of the theoretical methods applied and the results obtained were always contrasted with the experimental evidence provided by the groups of Prof. Achim Müller (Bielefeld) and Prof. Marcella Bonchio (Padova). In certain cases the theoretical results provided an explanation for experimental observations and in other cases they had allowed prediction as main objective.<br/><br/>Chapter IV presents the results regarding encapsulated water molecules inside the giant polyoxometalate cavities. Chapter V presents the results of the studies about ion pairing on polyoxometalates. Chapters VI and VII presents the results of two different polyoxometalates and their catalytic activity. Finally Chapter VIII presents a theoretical study on the effect of counterions on the growth of giant uranium polyperoxometalates.
