title: A manganese-doped polymeric framework of polyoxotitanate nanoclusters with a narrow band gap.
abstract: A three-dimensional coordination polymer based on a manganese-doped polyoxotitanate nanocluster, {Ti13Mn4O16[MeC(CH2O)3]4(OEt)12Br4}∞, has been synthesized under solvothermal conditions. It is the first framework of doped polyoxotitanate nanoclusters reported in the literature. Compared with anatase, its band gap is reduced from 3.19 to 2.57 eV.
