Polyoxocationic antimony oxide cluster with acidic protons.

ABSTRACT: The success and continued expansion of research on metal-oxo clusters owe largely to their structural richness and wide range of functions. However, while most of them known to date are negatively charged polyoxometalates, there is only a handful of cationic ones, much less functional ones. Here, we show an all-inorganic hydroxyiodide [H_10.7Sb_32.1O₄₄][H_2.1Sb_2.1I₈O₆][Sb_0.76I₆]₂·25H₂O (HSbOI), forming a face-centered cubic structure with cationic Sb₃₂O₄₄ clusters and two types of anionic clusters in its interstitial spaces. Although it is submicrometer in size, electron diffraction tomography of HSbOI allowed the construction of the init
