Abstract
Group (IV) metal oxo clusters represent a unique family of molecular species that are increasingly being utilized in applications ranging from catalysis and materials chemistry to electronics, and sensors. These clusters exhibit distinctive structural features, chemical reactivity, and electronic structure. Nevertheless, their full potential has yet to be fully realized due to the lack of deeper understanding regarding their structure and formation mechanisms, inherent traits, and intricacies in their design, which could ultimately enable significant customization of their properties and overall behaviour. Considering the recently observed reignited interest in the chemistry of group IV molecular species, the scope of this article is to bring to the readers the main chemical characteristics of the family of titanium, zirconium, and hafnium-based clusters, their structural features and their potential in future applications.
