Formation of Ti28 ln cages, the highest nuclearity polyoxotitanates (Ln = La, Ce).
The solvothermal reactions of Ti(OEt)(4) with LnCl(3) (Ln = La, Ce) produced new Ti(28) Ln cages, in which the Ln(3+) ions are coordinated within a metallocrown arrangement, which represents the highest nuclearity cages of this type (see figure).
