WSe2 and WS2 microspheres were synthesized by a solvothermal method and demonstrated outstanding uptake capacities for Pb2+ and Hg2+.
A high-nuclearity manganese–tungsten supercluster Na8H32[{MnIV24MnIII12O28(H2O)23}2(W24O120)2]·66H2O (Mn72W48) has been successfully synthesized and its formation mechanism is investigated by ESI-MS.
