Truncation reaction regulates the out-to-in growth mechanism to decrypt the formation of brucite-like dysprosium clusters
DALTON TRANSACTIONS(2021)
Abstract
Specially shaped high-nuclear lanthanide cluster assembly has attracted widespread attention, but the study of their self-assembly mechanism is still stagnant. Herein, we used a polydentate chelating bis-acylhydrazone ligand to construct a rare 16-nuclear dysprosium cluster 1 with a brucite-like structure. The capture agents, pivalic acid and di( pyridin-2-yl)methanone, were added into the reaction system, and the hexanuclear dysprosium cluster 2 and heptanuclear dysprosium cluster 3 were obtained, respectively. Clusters 2 and 3 support the out-to-in growth mechanism as key evidence. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to use truncation reaction to decipher the formation mechanism of high-nuclear lanthanide clusters.
