Abstract
Octahedral cluster complexes of molybdenum and tungsten, [M6X8Y6]n- (M = Mo, W; X, Y = Cl, Br, I), are promising active components in various fields, including biomedicine and solar energy. Cluster complexes draw considerable attention due to their X-ray opacity, red/near-IR luminescence, and ability to convert triplet molecular oxygen to active singlet oxygen under UV and visible irradiation. Among the octahedral cluster complexes of molybdenum and tungsten, compounds with a {W6Br8}4+ core are the least studied. There are only a few examples of compounds with substituted terminal ligands, and their properties are not well understood. Among other things, this is due to more labor-intensive and expensive methods for obtaining the starting compounds in comparison with molybdenum counterparts. In this paper, we describe the synthesis of an octahedral cluster complex, (TBA)2[W6Br14] (TBA+ = tetrabutylammonium), in gram quantities, starting from simple substances─W, Br2, and Bi─in 70% yield. The formation of pentanuclear tungsten cluster complexes was recorded as a byproduct. Compounds with substituted terminal ligands (TBA)2[W6Br8Y6] (Y = NO3, Cl, I) were obtained. We also discuss the instability of (TBA)2[W6Br8(NO3)6] under light exposure, the optical properties of a series of compounds (TBA)2[W6Br8Y6] (Y = Cl, Br, I), and the effect of terminal ligands on the chemical shifts in 183W NMR spectra in dimethyl sulfoxide-d6. The presented approach to the synthesis of one of the main precursors of various bromide cluster complexes on a gram scale can stimulate the study of their properties and development of new functional materials based on them.

Enhanced NH 3 Sensing Performance of Mo Cluster-MoS 2 Nanocomposite Thin Films via the Sulfurization of Mo 6 Cluster Iodides Precursor. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:478. [PMID: 36770439 PMCID: PMC9921185 DOI: 10.3390/nano13030478] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2022] [Revised: 01/16/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
The high-performance defect-rich MoS2 dominated by sulfur vacancies as well as Mo-rich environments have been extensively studied in many fields, such as nitrogen reduction reactions, hydrogen evolution reactions, as well as sensing devices for NH3, which are attributed to the under-coordinated Mo atoms playing a significant role as catalytic sites in the defect area. In this study, the Mo cluster-MoS2 composite was creatively synthesized through a one-step sulfurization process via H2/H2S gas flow. The Mo6 cluster iodides (MIs) coated on the fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass substrate via the electrophoretic deposition method (i.e., MI@FTO) were used as a precursor to form a thin-film nanocomposite. Investigations into the structure, reaction mechanism, and NH3 gas sensing performance were carried out in detail. The results indicated that during the gas flowing, the decomposed Mo6 cluster iodides played the role of template and precursor, forming complicated Mo cluster compounds and eventually producing MoS2. These Mo cluster-MoS2 thin-film nanocomposites were fabricated and applied as gas sensors for the first time. It turns out that after the sulfurization process, the response of MI@FTO for NH3 gas increased three times while showing conversion from p-type to n-type semiconductor, which enhances their possibilities for future device applications.

Abstract
In the frame of the nanoarchitectonic concept, the objective of this study was to develop simple and easy methods to ensure the preparation of polymorphic HfO2 thin film materials (<200 nm) having the best balance of patterning potential, reproducibility and stability to be used in optical, sensing or electronic fields. The nanostructured HfO2 thin films with micropatterns or continuous morphologies were synthesized by two different methods, i.e., the micropatterning of sol-gel solutions by deep ultraviolet (DUV) photolithography or the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of HfO2 nanoparticles (HfO2-NPs). Amorphous and monoclinic HfO2 micropatterned nanostructured thin films (HfO2-DUV) were prepared by using a sol-gel solution precursor (HfO2-SG) and spin-coating process following by DUV photolithography, whereas continuous and dense monoclinic HfO2 nanostructured thin films (HfO2-EPD) were prepared by the direct EPD of HfO2-NPs. The HfO2-NPs were prepared by a hydrothermal route and studied through the changing aging temperature, pH and reaction time parameters to produce nanocrystalline particles. Subsequently, based on the colloidal stability study, suspensions of the monoclinic HfO2-NPs with morphologies near spherical, spindle- and rice-like shapes were used to prepare HfO2-EPD thin films on conductive indium-tin oxide-coated glass substrates. Morphology, composition and crystallinity of the HfO2-NPs and thin films were investigated by powder and grazing incidence X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and UV-visible spectrophotometry. The EPD and DUV photolithography performances were explored and, in this study, it was clearly demonstrated that these two complementary methods are suitable, simple and effective processes to prepare controllable and tunable HfO2 nanostructures as with homogeneous, dense or micropatterned structures.

Abstract
The antagonism between global energy needs and the obligation to slow global warming is a current challenge. In order to ensure sufficient thermal comfort, the automotive, housing and agricultural building sectors are major energy consumers. Solar control materials and more particularly, selective glazing are part of the solutions proposed to reduce global energy consumption and tackle global warming. In this context, these works are focused on developing new highly ultraviolet (UV) and near-infrared (NIR) absorbent nanocomposite coatings based on K4[{Nb6-xTaxXi12}Xa6]. (X = Cl, Br, 0 ≤ x ≤ 6) transition metal cluster compounds. These compounds contain cluster-based active species that are characterized by their strong absorption of UV and NIR radiations as well as their good transparency in the visible range, which makes them particularly attractive for window applications. Their integration, by solution processes, into a silica-polyethylene glycol or polyvinylpyrrolidone matrices is discussed. Of particular interest is the control and the tuning of their optical properties during the integration and shaping processes. The properties of the solutions and films were investigated by complementary techniques (UV-Vis-NIR spectrometry, ESI-MS, SEM, HRTEM, etc.). Results of these works have led to the development of versatile solar control coatings whose optical properties are competitive with commercialized material.

Abstract
Edge-bridged halide tantalum clusters based on the {Ta6Br12}4+ core have been the topic of many physicostructural investigations both in solution and in the solid-state. Despite a large number of studies, the fundamental correlations between compositions, local symmetry, electronic structures of [{Ta6Bri12}La6]m+/n- cluster units (L = Br or H2O, in solution and in the solid-state), redox states, and vibrational and absorption properties are still not well established. Using K4[{Ta6Bri12}Bra6] as a starting precursor (i: inner and a: apical), we have investigated the behavior of the [{Ta6Bri12}Bra6]4- cluster unit in terms of oxidation properties and chemical modifications both in solution (water and organic solvent) and after recrystallization. A wide range of experimental techniques in combination with quantum chemical simulations afford new data that allow the puzzling behavior of the cluster units in response to changes in their environment to be revealed. Apical ligands undergo changes like modifications of interatomic distances to complete substitutions in solution that modify noticeably the cluster physical properties. Changes in the oxidation state of the cluster units also occur, which modify significantly their physical properties, including optical properties, which can thus be used as fingerprints. A subtle balance exists between the number of substituted apical ligands and the cluster oxidation state. This study provides new information about the exact nature of the species formed during the transition from the solid-state to solutions and vice versa. This shows new perspectives on optimization protocols for the design of Ta6 cluster-based materials.

Abstract
The fight against infective microorganisms is becoming a worldwide priority due to serious concerns about the rising numbers of drug-resistant pathogenic bacteria. In this context, the inactivation of pathogens by singlet oxygen, O2(1Δg), produced by photosensitizers upon light irradiation has become an attractive strategy to combat drug-resistant microbes. To achieve this goal, we electrophoretically deposited O2(1Δg)-photosensitizing octahedral molybdenum cluster complexes on indium-tin oxide-coated glass plates. This procedure led to the first example of molecular photosensitizer layers able to photoinactivate bacterial biofilms. We delineated the morphology, composition, luminescence, and singlet oxygen formation of these layers and correlated these features with their antibacterial activity. Clearly, continuous 460 nm light irradiation imparted the layers with strong antibacterial properties, and the activity of these layers inhibited the biofilm formation and eradicated mature biofilms of Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis, as well as, Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli bacterial strains. Overall, the microstructure-related oxygen diffusivity of the layers and the water stability of the complexes were the most critical parameters for the efficient and durable use. These photoactive layers are attractive for the design of antibacterial surfaces activated by visible light and include additional functionalities such as the conversion of harmful UV/blue light to red light or oxygen sensing.

Abstract
Structurally colored coatings composed of colloidal arrays of monodisperse spherical particles have attracted great attention owing to their versatile advantages, such as low cost, resistance to fading, and low impacts on the environment and human health. However, the weak mechanical stability is considered to be a major obstacle for their practical applications as colorants. Although several approaches based on the addition of polymer additives to enhance the adhesion of particles have been reported, the challenge remains to develop a strategy for the preparation of structurally colored coatings with extremely high robustness using a simple process. Here, we have developed a novel approach to fabricate robust structurally colored coatings by cathodic electrophoretic deposition. The addition of a metal salt, i.e., Mg(NO3)2, to the coating dispersion allows SiO2 particles to have a positive charge, which enables the electrophoresis of SiO2 particles toward the cathode. At the cathode, Mg(OH)2 codeposits with SiO2 particles because OH- ions are generated by the decomposition of dissolved oxygen and NO3- ions. The mechanical stability of the colloidal arrays obtained by this process is remarkably improved because Mg(OH)2 facilitates the adhesion of the particles and substrates. The brilliant structural color is maintained even after several cycles of the sandpaper abrasion test. We have also demonstrated the coating on a stainless steel fork. This demonstration reveals that our approach enables a homogeneous coating on a complicated surface. Furthermore, the high durability of the coating is clarified because the coating did not peel off even when the fork was stuck into a plastic eraser. Therefore, the coating technique developed here will provide an effective method for the pervasive application of the structural color as a colorant.

Abstract
A novel UV-Vis photodetector consisting of an octahedral molybdenum cluster-functionalized Zn2Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) has been successfully synthesized by co-precipitation and delamination methods under ambient conditions. The electrophoretic deposition process has been used as a low-cost, fast, and effective method to fabricate thin and transparent nanocomposite films containing a dense and regular layered structure. The study provided evidence that the presence of the Mo6 cluster units between the LDH does not affect the ionic conduction mechanism of the LDH, which linearly depends on the relative humidity and temperature. Moreover, the photocurrent response is remarkably extended to the visible domain. The reproducibility and stabilization of the photocurrent response caused by the Mo6 cluster-functionalized LDH have been verified upon light excitation at 540 nm. Additionally, it was demonstrated that the films show advantageously strong adherence properties for application requirements.

Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity and Stability in Hydrogen Evolution of Mo 6 Iodide Clusters Supported on Graphene Oxide. NANOMATERIALS 2020; 10:nano10071259.

Abstract
Catalytic properties of the cluster compound (TBA)2[Mo6Ii8(O2CCH3)a6] (TBA = tetrabutylammonium) and a new hybrid material (TBA)2Mo6Ii8@GO (GO = graphene oxide) in water photoreduction into molecular hydrogen were investigated. New hybrid material (TBA)2Mo6Ii8@GO was prepared by coordinative immobilization of the (TBA)2[Mo6Ii8(O2CCH3)a6] onto GO sheets and characterized by spectroscopic, analytical, and morphological techniques. Liquid and, for the first time, gas phase conditions were chosen for catalytic experiments under UV–Vis irradiation. In liquid water, optimal H2 production yields were obtained after using (TBA)2[Mo6Ii8(O2CCH3)a6] and (TBA)2Mo6Ii8@GO) catalysts after 5 h of irradiation of liquid water. Despite these remarkable catalytic performances, “liquid-phase” catalytic systems have serious drawbacks: the cluster anion evolves to less active cluster species with partial hydrolytic decomposition, and the nanocomposite completely decays in the process. Vapor water photoreduction showed lower catalytic performance but offers more advantages in terms of cluster stability, even after longer radiation exposure times and recyclability of both catalysts. The turnover frequency (TOF) of (TBA)2Mo6Ii8@GO is three times higher than that of the microcrystalline (TBA)2[Mo6Ii8(O2CCH3)a6], in agreement with the better accessibility of catalytic cluster sites for water molecules in the gas phase. This bodes well for the possibility of creating {Mo6I8}4+-based materials as catalysts in hydrogen production technology from water vapor.

Abstract
Transparent optical thin films for energy saving applications have recently gained substantial prominence for functional window processes. In this study, highly visible transparent nanocomposite films with ultraviolet (UV) and near-infrared (NIR) blocking capabilities are reported. Such nanocomposite films, prepared by electrophoretic deposition on ITO-coated glass, are composed of indium tin oxide (ITO) nanocrystals (9 nm) and octahedral metal atom clusters (1 nm, Nb6 or Ta6) embedded into silica nanoparticles (∼80 nm). The functional silica nanoparticles were prepared by a reverse microemulsion process. The microstructural characterization proved that ITO nanocrystals are centered in the silica nanoparticles, whereas the metal atom clusters are homogeneously distributed in the silica matrix. The optical absorption spectra of these transparent nanocomposite films exhibit distinct and complementary contributions from their ITO nanoparticles and metal atom clusters (absorption in the UV range) and from the ITO layer on silica.

Abstract
Transparent optical thin films have recently attracted a growing interest for functional window applications. In this study, highly visible transparent nanocomposite films with ultraviolet (UV)-near-infrared (NIR)-blocking capabilities are reported. Such films, composed of Mo6 and Nb6 octahedral metal atom clusters (MC) and polymethylmethacrylate polymer (PMMA), were prepared by electrophoretic deposition on indium tin oxide-coated glass (ITO glass). PMMA was found to improve both the chemical and physical stability of Mo6 and Nb6 MCs, resulting in a relatively homogeneous distribution of the clusters within the PMMA matrix, as seen by microstructural observations. The optical absorption spectrum of these transparent MC@polymer nanocomposite films was marked by contributions from their Mo6 and Nb6-based clusters (absorption in the UV range) and from the ITO layer on silica glass (absorption in the NIR range). Mo6@PMMA nanocomposite films also exhibited excellent photoluminescence properties, which were preserved even after exposure to 50°C at a relative humidity of 70% for one month. These films cumulate high transparency in the visible range with remarkable UV-NIR blocking properties and represent interesting candidates for functional glass application.
