Assembly of a large cerium(iii)-containing tungstotellurites(iv) nanocluster: [Ce10Te8W88O298(OH)12(H2O)40]18−†
Abstract
A large lanthanide-containing tungstotellurites(IV) nanocluster Na18[Ce10Te8W88O298(OH)12(H2O)40]·54H2O (1) was synthesized by combining cerium linkers and TeO32− heteroanion templates. The macroanion in 1 consists of two identical [Te4W42O144(OH)6Ce4(H2O)13]14− subunits and two triangle-shaped {W2O5Ce(H2O)7} linkers.
