Hybrid bronzes: mixed-valence organic-inorganic metal oxides as a tunable material platform.

ABSTRACT: We demonstrate that mixed-valence layered organic-inorganic metal oxides of the form (L)_zH_xMO₃ (L = neutral ligand; M = Mo, W; z = 0.5, 1; 0 < x < 2), which we call hybrid bronzes, can be readily synthesized through mild solution-state self-assembly reactions to integrate the stability and electronic utility of inorganic metal oxide bronzes with the chemical diversity and functionality of organic molecules. We use single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction coupled with X-ray, electronic, and vibrational spectroscopies to show that the products of aqueous pre-, mid-, or post-synthetic reduction are mixed-valence versions of highly crystalline layered hybrid oxides.
