“…15,17,18 Molybdenum based nanoclusters consist of octahedral Mo 6 units bearing eight face bridging inner halides and six terminal halides in the apical positions. 19 These apical halides are labile and can be readily exchanged to other ligands to significantly improve the photochemical properties and make them attractive candidates for applications in catalysis, 20,21 radiochemistry, 22 sensors, 23 intercalation chemistry, 24 and solar concentrators. 25 In addition, switching the inner halides from chloride to iodide has also led to improvement in the photoluminescence properties of these nanoclusters.…”
