Archimedean Synthesis and Magic Numbers: “Sizing” Giant Molybdenum-Oxide-Based Molecular Spheres of the Keplerate Type

Abstract: Pythagorean harmony can be found in the spherical polyoxometalate clusters described here (see illustration for an example of a structure), since there are interesting relationships between the so-called magic numbers (12, 32, 42, 72, 132) relevant for spherical viruses and the number of the building blocks in the cluster. The size of these Keplerate clusters can be tailored by varying the type of connections between the pentagons by means of different spacers.

“…[1,2] In particular, transition-metal-substituted polyoxometalate (TMSP) complexes are of great interest, as such mixed-metal systems can possess new or enhanced physical properties (e.g., magnetic properties). [5] Some other mag- [ netically interesting TMSP complexes are also known, such as the {Mn 19 Si 6 W 60 }, [6] {Fe 5 W 15 }, [7] {Fe 30 Mo 72 }, [8] {Ni 9 W 27 }, [9] and {Cu 14 W 36 } species. [4] More recently, a cobaltcontaining TMSP-based SMM, [{Co 4 (OH) 3 PO 4 } 4 -(PW 9 O 34 ) 4 ] 28-, was presented by Kortz.…”

“…The subject of molecular magnets has greatly advanced in recent years [1][2][3][4] and has led to the synthesis of bulk samples of large paramagnetic molecules with very weak intermolecular but strong intramolecular magnetic interactions. The neutral Keplerate species, 4 ions ͑spins Sϭ5/2͒ are embedded within a molecule on the vertices of a regular Archimedean polytope, an icosidodecahedron 5 ͑see Fig.…”
