A novel organic–inorganic hybrid constructed from the Nyman-type dititanoniobate [Ti2Nb8O28]8− and copper–organic cations†
Abstract
A new organic–inorganic hybrid titaniobate compound, [Cu(en)2][Cu(en)2(H2O)2]3[Ti2Nb8O28]·8H2O (1) (en = ethylenediamine), was successfully synthesized, characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and its photoluminescence studied.
