This study constructed two novel Fe clusters, Fe-6 and Fe-18, with different structural models based on a rare H(5)thmmg ligand. The transition from Fe-6 to Fe-18 was successfully achieved by adding more triethylamine, leading to nuclearity enlargement and structural regulation. Additionally, both Fe-6 and Fe-18 clusters exhibit antiferromagnetism, providing insights for the structural predesign and adjustment of metal nanoclusters.
As a kind of metastable aggregation between iron ions and iron hydroxide precipitates, Fe clusters can only be isolated under narrow synthesis conditions. Here, two Fe clusters with different structural models, [Fe-6(H(2)thmmg)(6)] (Fe-6) and [Fe18O8(OH)(8)(H(2)thmmg)(10)] (Fe-18), are constructed based on a rare N-tris(hydroxymethyl)methylglycine (H(5)thmmg) ligand. The cyclic Fe-6 can be visualized as a six-vane windmill comprised of 6 Fe3+ and 6 H(2)thmmg(3-) ligands. Unlike the cyclic configuration of Fe-6, the Fe-18 cluster features a bricky structure like a Chinese knot coordinated by three species, H(2)thmmg(3-), OH- and O2-. It was obtained by adding more triethylamine to the reactive solution of Fe-6 which yielded more coordinated species OH- and O2-. Moreover, the conversion from Fe-6 to Fe-18 was successfully achieved by adding more triethylamine, realizing nuclearity enlargement and structural regulation of Fe clusters. Furthermore, the magnetic properties of Fe-6 and Fe-18 exhibit antiferromagnetism. This work reports two novel alkali-regulated Fe clusters and further realizes the transformation of nuclearity and structure, which provides some reference for the structural predesign and adjustment of metal nanoclusters.
