Abstract
This study reported a series of cube-shaped polyoxoniobates, {MCu12O8)(Cu12XmOn)(Nb7(OH)O21)8} [M = Nb(1, 2), Ln3+(3), X = I(1, m = 3, n = 3; 2, m = 5, n = 1), Br(3, m = 5, n = 1)]. As the first octahedral Cu12XmOn cluster incorporated polyoxoniobate, the cube-shaped three-shell structure of {MCu12O8)(Cu12XmOn)(Nb7(OH)O21)8} polyanion contains a {MCu12O8} body-centered cuboctahedron, a {Cu12XmOn} octahedron and a {Cu12(Nb7(OH)O21)8} cube. Compounds 1, 2, 3 show effective catalytic activities for the hydrolytic decomposition of chemical warefare agent simulants.
Highlights
Polyoxoniobates (PONbs) have obtained increasing attention in the past few years due to their well-defined structures and potential applications in photocatalysis (Zhang et al, 2011; Huang et al, 2012b; Qiao et al, 2018), catalysis (Ivanchikova et al, 2014; Zhu et al, 2020), virology (Judd et al, 2001; Wang et al, 2019), and nuclear waste treatment (Bonhomme et al, 2005)
This study reported a series of cube-shaped polyoxoniobates, {MCu12O8)(Cu12XmOn)(Nb7(OH)O21)8} [M = Nb(1, 2), Ln3+(3), X = I(1, m = 3, n
Chemical warfare agents (CWAs), as a class of chemical weapons (Dong et al, 2017), have been the subject of recent studies, which have explored materials that are effective in facilitating hydrolytic decomposition for CWAs
