“…For example, the titanocene(III) complex reported by Please do not adjust margins Please do not adjust margins Cuevra binds to water, resulting in the formation of a highly reactive O-H bond due to the thermodynamic driving force for oxidation of the Ti(III) centre. 70,71 The change in BDFE(O-H) of water reported here, following coordination to a V(III) center embedded within a multimetallic MO x assembly, is smaller than that described for Cp 2 TiCl(OH 2 ) (∆BDFE(O-H) H2O,avg = 46.5 kcal mol -1 for V(III) vs. ∆BDFE(O-H) H2O,avg = 58.7 kcal mol -1 for Ti(III)), consistent with the modest oxidation potential of the parent cluster (E 1/2 = -0.477 V vs Fc +/0 in THF, Figure S7). The BDFE(O-H) avg obtained for the reduced cluster, (calix)V 6 O 5 (OH 2 ), closely resembles values previously reported by our group for reduced polyoxovanadate cluster containing a similar Lindqvist structure.…”
