Abstract

A close-packed superstructure consisting of Ti₁₂ and Ti₆ in one single crystal is prepared via a solvothermal synthesis. The closest twelve neighboring Ti₆ clusters form a distorted cuboctahedron centered with a Ti₁₂ cluster. Such a structure imitates the stacking sequence of a face-centered cubic (FCC) metal. By employing the cuboctahedron as a basic unit, the whole single crystal is re-rendered.
