Truly Monodisperse Molecular Nanoparticles of Cerium Dioxide of 2.4 nm dimensions : A {Ce100 O167 } Cluster

© 2021 Wiley-VCH GmbH..

Ultra-small nanoparticles of CeO2 obtained in molecular form, so-called molecular nanoparticles, have been limited to date to a family whose largest member is of nuclearity Ce40 with a {Ce40 O58 } core atom count. Herein we report that a synthetic procedure has been developed to the cation [Ce100 O149 (OH)18 (O2 CPh)60 (PhCO2 H)12 (H2 O)20 ]16+ , a member with a much higher Ce100 nuclearity and a {Ce100 O167 } core that is more akin to the smallest ceria nanoparticles. Its crystal structure reveals it to possess a 2.4 nm size and high D2d symmetry, and it has also allowed identification of core surface features including facet composition, the presence and location of Ce3+ and H+ (i.e. HO- ) ions, and the binding modes of the ligand monolayer of benzoate, benzoic acid, and water ligands.
