Self-assembly of an organometallic Fe₉O₆ cluster from aerobic oxidation of (tmeda)Fe(CH₂^tBu)₂

Abstract

Aerobic oxidation of (tmeda)Fe(CH2tBu)2 in toluene or THF solution leads to the self-assembly of a magic-sized all-ferrous oxide cluster containing the Fe9O6 subunit and bearing organometallic and diamine ligands.

Designing Ruddlesden–Popper Layered Perovskites through Their Organic Cations

“…Here, rationalizing the selection of precursors and synthesis conditions is crucial to overcome the instability of organometallic molecules. The ability of this class of molecules to form ordered 2D packs may facilitate their insertion within organic/inorganic layers. , …”

“…The ability of this class of molecules to form ordered 2D packs may facilitate their insertion within organic/ inorganic layers. 58,59 In a way similar to the use of perovskite ligands in PbS quantum dots (QDs), 60−62 or to the formation of perovskite core−shell structures, 63 another possibility is the attachment of short dications to the surface of QDs of the desired composition. These QDs could be used as "seeds" in the synthesis of metalhalide layered perovskites, where the exposed functional group could act as an anchor site for the formation of a metal-halide layered shell (Figure 4d).…”
