A Two-Dimensional Layered Heteropolyoxoniobate Based on Cubic Sn(IV)-Containing {Sn<sub>12</sub>Nb<sub>56</sub>O<sub>200</sub>} Cages with Good Proton Conductivity Property
The first example of a Sn(IV)-containing heteropolyoxoniobate K<sub>6</sub>H<sub>18</sub>[Cu(en)<sub>2</sub>]<sub>8</sub>{[Sn(OH)<sub>2</sub>]<sub>12</sub> (HNb<sub>7</sub>O<sub>22</sub>)<sub>8</sub>}·2en·88H<sub>2</sub>O (<b>1</b>) is built from nanoscale high-nuclearity cubic {[Sn(OH)<sub>2</sub>]<sub>12</sub>(HNb<sub>7</sub>O<sub>22</sub>)<sub>8</sub>} cluster and [Cu(en)<sub>2</sub>]<sup>2+</sup> complexes. The cubic {[Sn(OH)<sub>2</sub>]<sub>12</sub>(HNb<sub>7</sub>O<sub>22</sub>)<sub>8</sub>} cage is composed of eight {Nb<sub>7</sub>O<sub>22</sub>} clusters and 12 SnO<sub>6</sub> octahedrons. The eight {Nb<sub>7</sub>O<sub>22</sub>} fragments are situated at the vertices of the cubic cage, while the 12 SnO<sub>6</sub> octahedrons are positioned along the edges of the cubic cage. The [Cu(en)<sub>2</sub>]<sup>2+</sup> complexes link the {[Sn(OH)<sub>2</sub>]<sub>12</sub>(HNb<sub>7</sub>O<sub>22</sub>)<sub>8</sub>} clusters into two-dimensional (2D) (4,4) grid-like layers. The N-H···O hydrogen bonds between the [Cu(en)<sub>2</sub>]<sup>2+</sup> complexes and the {[Sn(OH)<sub>2</sub>]<sub>12</sub>(HNb<sub>7</sub>O<sub>22</sub>)<sub>8</sub>} clusters link the layers to form a 3D supramolecular structure. Compound <b>1</b> exhibits a good proton conductivity of 3.1 × 10<sup>-2</sup> S cm<sup>-1</sup> at 85 °C and 98% relative humidity.
