Abstract:
An oxalate-assisted lanthanide (Ln) incorporation strategy is first demonstrated for creating rare high-nuclearity Ln-containing polyoxoniobates (PONbs). With the strategy, a series of high-nuclearity Ln-containing PONbs of 50-nuclearity Dy2Nb48, 103-nuclearity Dy7Nb96, 200-nuclearity Dy10Nb190, and 206-nuclearity Dy14Nb192 have been made, showing an increasingly large structure evolution from Dy2Nb48 monomer to Dy7Nb96 dimer and to distinct Dy10Nb190 and Dy14Nb192 tetramers. Among them, Dy14Nb192 presents the largest heterometallic PONb and also the PONb with the greatest number of Ln ions reported thus far. Interestingly, both giant Dy14Nb192 and Dy10Nb190 molecules can further undergo single-crystal to single-crystal intermolecular aggregations, forming infinite {Dy14Nb192}infinity and {Dy10Nb190}infinity chains, respectively. The former structural transformation shows a reversible humidity-dependent aggregation-disaggregation process accompanied by a proton conductivity response, while the latter structural transformation is irreversible. These new species largely enrich the very limited members of Ln-containing PONb family and offer rare examples for studying structural transformations between giant molecular aggregates and infinitely extended structures at the atomic level.
