Transmetalation of Aqueous Inorganic Clusters: A Useful Route to the Synthesis of Heterometallic Aluminum and Indium Hydroxo—Aquo Clusters

Year: 2014

Type: article

Abstract: [AlxIny(μ3-OH)6(μ-OH)18(H2O)24](NO3)15 hydroxy-aquo clusters (AlxIn13-x) are synthesized through the evaporation of stoichiometrically varied solutions of Al13 and In(NO3)3 using a transmetalation reaction. Several spectroscopic techniques ((1)H NMR, (1)H-diffusion ordered spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, and Raman) are used to compare AlxIn13-x to its Al13 counterpart. A thin film of aluminum indium oxide was prepared from an Al7In6 cluster ink, showing its utility as a precursor for materials.
