Abstract
The reaction of [Bi(22)O(26)(OSiMe(2)tBu)(14)] (1) in THF with salicylic acid gave [Bi(22)O(24)(HSal)(14)] (2) first, which was converted into [Bi(38)O(45)(HSal)(22)(OH)(2)(DMSO)(16.5)]·DMSO·H(2)O (3·DMSO·H(2)O) after dissolution and crystallization from DMSO. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and ESI mass spectrometry associated with infrared multi-photon dissociation (IRMPD) tandem MS experiments confirm the formation of the large and quite stable bismuth oxido cluster 3. The reaction of compound 2 with the butoxycarbonyl(BOC)-protected amino acids phenylalanine and valine (BOC-PheOH and BOC-ValOH), respectively, resulted in the formation of chiral [Bi(38)O(45)(BOC-AA)(22)(OH)(2)] (AA=deprotonated amino acid), as shown by a combination of different analytical techniques such as elemental analysis, dynamic light scattering, circular dichroism spectroscopy, and ESI mass spectrometry.
