Indium in Polyoxopalladate(II) Chemistry: Synthesis of All-Acetate Capped [InPd12O8(OAc)(16)](5-) and Controlled Transformation to Phosphate-Capped Double-Cube and Monocube
We have prepared the indium(III)-centered, all-acetate-capped polyoxopalladate(II) nanocube [InPd12O8(OAc)(16)](5-) (InPd12Ac16), which can be further used as precursor to form the phosphate-capped (i) double-cube [In2Pd23O17(OH)(PO4)(12)(PO3OH)](21-) (In2Pd23P13) and (ii) monocube [InPd12O8(PO4)(8)](13-) (InPd12P8). All three novel polyoxopalladates (POPs) were synthesized using conventional one-pot techniques in aqueous solution and characterized in the solid state (single-crystal XRD, IR, elemental analysis), in solution (In-115, P-31, and C-13 NMR), and in the gas phase (ESI-MS).
