A surface-dynamic approach toward supercrystal engineering of titanium–oxo clusters

Abstract

The controlled synthesis and structure determination of two titanium–oxo (Ti–O) clusters (Ti10Cu2)sp (sp: hard-sphere-like packing) and (Ti10Cu2)cs (cs: chain stacking) are presented. In contrast to the previously reported assemblies of Ti–O clusters by organic or inorganic linkers, (Ti10Cu2)sp and (Ti10Cu2)cs are achieved via regulating the surface dynamics of Ti–O clusters and further stabilized by CH⋯π interactions. The surface dynamics was regulated via a change of dynamically detached Sal-Cu/OMe-Cu motifs (Sal = salicylic acid). More importantly, benefiting from the difference in structures, (Ti10Cu2)cs exhibits excellent conductive properties and different photocatalytic activities.
