ABSTRACT
Exploring new structural types of polyoxotitanium clusters (PTCs), especially those containing classical polyoxometalates structures, has always been the focus of research in the field of metal-oxo clusters. In this work, we present the synthesis and characterization of three prismatic PTCs namely, Ti8(µ2-O)3(µ4-O)2(OnPr)6(HOnPr)2(L1)8 (PTC-237; H2L1 = 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol), Ti12(µ2-O)6(µ3-O)8(OnPr)6(L2)12(L3)2 (PTC-238; HL2 = 1-adamantanecarboxylic acid, HL3 = 2-picolinic acid), and [Ti18(µ2-O)4(µ3-O)16(µ5-O)2(OiPr)18(L3)8](L3)2 (PTC-239). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses indicate that the construction of these prismatic PTCs is based on a stepwise interlayer assembly of {Ti3} and {Ti4} substructures. The diameters of their core skeletons are in the range between 0.9 and 1.3 nm. In particular, lacunary Linqvist-like {Ti4} and {Ti5} building units are found to exist in the structures of PTC-237 and PTC-239. According to the solid-state UV-vis diffuse reflectance measurements, the absorption band of 3,5-di-tert-butylcatecholate-functionalized PTC-237 shifts toward the visible-light region, giving a smaller optical band gap of 1.56 eV in comparison to PTC-238 (3.36 eV) and PTC-239 (3.25 eV).
