Butyltin Keggin Ion with a Rare Four-Coordinate Ca
Center
Posted on 2020-02-14 - 15:12
Alkyltin
clusters are exploited in nanolithography for the fabrication
of microelectronics. The alkyltin Keggin family is unique among Keggin
clusters across the periodic table; its members appear to favor the
lower-symmetry β and γ isomers rather than the highly
symmetrical α and ε isomers. Therefore, the alkyltin Keggin
family may provide important fundamental information about the formation
and isomerization of Keggin clusters. We have synthesized and structurally
characterized a new butyltin Keggin cluster with a tetrahedral Ca2+ center, fully formulated [(BuSn)12(CaO4)(OCH3)12(O)4(OH)8]2+ (β-CaSn12). The synthesis is a simple one-step
process. Extensive solution characterization including electrospray
ionization mass spectrometry, small-angle X-ray scattering, and multinuclear
(1H, 13C, and 119Sn) nuclear magnetic
resonance shows β-CaSn12 is essentially phase-pure
and stable. This differs from the previously reported Na-centered
analogues that always form a mixture of β and γ isomers,
with facile interconversion. Therefore, this study has clarified prior
confusion over complex spectroscopic and crystallographic characterization
of the Na-centered analogues. Density functional theory calculations
showed the following stability order: γ-CaSn12 <
γ-NaSn12 < β-CaSn12 < β-NaSn12. The β analogue is always more stable than the γ
analogue, consistent with experiment. Notable outcomes of this study
include a rare tetrahedral Ca coordination, a Na-free alkyltin cluster
(important for microelectronics manufacturing), and a better understanding
of Keggin families built of different metal cations.
