Abstract

Abstract : The first Cu32 cluster featuring a multi-cubane (Cu4 O3 X) structure exhibited excellent catalytic performance in the degradation of organic pollutant rhodamine B, good electrocatalytic activity for nitrite reduction, and strong antiferromagnetic interactions. Abstract : The first 32-membered Cu(ii ) cluster with a big cubic structure consisting of eight small cubic cores exhibited a high photocatalytic activity for the degradation of rhodamine B (∼99%) dye within 15 min under UV light irradiation, effective electrocatalytic activity for nitrite reduction and strong antiferromagnetic interactions among the Cu(ii ) centers.
