Mimicking oxide surfaces: different types of defects and ligand coordination at well defined positions of a molybdenum oxide based nanocluster.
The mixed valence cluster anion of the compound (NH4)32[MoVI110MoV28O416H6(H2O)58(CH3CO2)6].xH2O 1 (x approximately 250), synthesized under one-pot conditions, contains well-defined different types of defects--missing groups compared to the complete parent (Mo154) type cluster with full D7d symmetry--and acetate ligand coordination; this proves that the giant-wheel type anion can be considered as an object with a variety of nanoscale structural features ("nanostructured landscape") allowing reactions at a variety of well defined centers.
