TL;DR: This research provides strong experimental evidence for high potential of molybdenum-cluster-doped materials in biomedical applications such as optical bioimaging, biolabeling and photodynamic therapy.

TL;DR: This article describes the synthesis, structures and systematic study of the spectroscopic and redox properties of a series of octahedral molybdenum metal cluster complexes with aromatic sulfonate ligands that demonstrated photoluminescence in the red region and an ability to generate singlet oxygen.

TL;DR: It was revealed that the inclusion compounds possessed significant singlet oxygen generation activity and the cluster supported on MIL-101 was shown to possess in vivo phototoxicity.

TL;DR: Despite the fact that molybdenum cluster complexes are better photoluminescence emitters, tungsten cluster complexes, in particular (Bu4N)2[{W6I8}I6], demonstrate significantly higher X-ray induced luminescence due to a combination of relatively good photolUMinescence properties and high X-rays attenuation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated design of photoluminescent materials based on silica and {Mo6X8}4+ clusters, including how synthesis conditions (chemical composition of metal cluster precursors, loading of the precursor and presence of a surfactant) influence key parameters of the final materials, such as phase composition, size and morphology of the particles and photophysical characteristics.
