Multifunctional Oxidized Dextran as a Matrix for Stabilization of Octahedral Molybdenum and Tungsten Iodide Clusters in Aqueous Media.

ABSTRACT: Due to their high abundance, polymeric character, and chemical tunability, polysaccharides are perfect candidates for the stabilization of photoactive nanoscale objects, which are of great interest in modern science but can be unstable in aqueous media. In this work, we have demonstrated the relevance of oxidized dextran polysaccharide, obtained via a simple reaction with H₂O₂, towards the stabilization of photoactive octahedral molybdenum and tungsten iodide cluster complexes [M₆I₈}(DMSO)₆](NO₃)₄ in aqueous and culture media. The cluster-containing materials were obtained by co-precipitation of the starting reagents in DMSO solution. According to the data obtained, the amount and ratio of functional carbonyl and
