Synergetic activation of "silent receptor" sites leading to a new type of inclusion complex: integration of a 64-membered ring comprising K+ and SO4(2-) ions into a molybdenum oxide-based nanoobject

The new type of inclusion species [Mo(VI)114Mo(V)32O429(H2O)50(KSO4)16]30- comprising 16 encapsulated K+ and SO4(2-) ions shows an unusual 64-membered [K(SO4)]16 ring integrated into a wheel-shaped type nanocluster host; it is formed by a synergetically induced functional complementarity and represe...

Description
Summary:The new type of inclusion species [Mo(VI)114Mo(V)32O429(H2O)50(KSO4)16]30- comprising 16 encapsulated K+ and SO4(2-) ions shows an unusual 64-membered [K(SO4)]16 ring integrated into a wheel-shaped type nanocluster host; it is formed by a synergetically induced functional complementarity and represents a text-book example of a very complex non-biological material.
