This thesis focuses on the synthesis and characterization of polyoxometalate (POM) hybrids, particularly Wells-Dawson and Anderson-Evans structures, functionalized for biological applications. The study aims to explore the potential of these hybrids in inhibiting amyloid β-peptide aggregation, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. Monofunctionalization strategies were employed to develop POM scaffolds compatible with peptides, such as QKLVFF. The work includes synthesizing lacunary POMs and mixed-addenda modifications to enhance reactivity. Advanced methods, including click chemistry, were applied to ensure selective conjugation of peptides, combining the redox properties of POMs with the recognition potential of peptides.
