Abstract

A novel high-nuclear nanosized cluster modified by conjugated organic ligands (pyridine and imidazole), [C₅NH₅]₈[C₃H₅N₂]₂{[C₅NH₅]₉[H₃₁Mo₁₂O₂₄Co₁₂(PO₄)₂₃(H₂O)₄]}·12H₂O (1), has been successfully isolated under hydrothermal conditions and structurally characterized. Compound 1 consists of 12 Co^II and 12 Mo^V ions linked by 23 {PO₄} groups, exhibiting unprecedented nanosized ship-shaped clusters. The magnetic measurements reveal that compound 1 exhibits dominant antiferromagnetic interactions. Additionally, pyridine and imidazole ligands enhance the delocalized electron effects of clusters, and the third-order nonlinear-optical response of compound 1 is excellent.
