Abstract

A scalable synthesis of the "flat" tridecameric inorganic cluster [Al133-OH)6(μ-OH)18(H 2O)24]15+ has been realized by treating an aqueous aluminum nitrate solution with a zinc-metal powder at room temperature. Single crystals and polycrystalline samples are readily obtained in yields exceeding 55% relative to the starting reagent Al(NO3)3. Products have been characterized by X-ray diffraction and solid-state 27Al MAS and MQMAS NMR.
