✦ Synopsis

Synthesis of the Hydroxide Cluster [Al 13 (μ 3 -OH) 6 (μ-OH) 18 (H 2 O) 24 ] 15+ from an Aqueous Solution. -Al13(μ3-OH)6(μ-OH)18(H2O)2415 is synthesized by treatment of an aqueous solution of Al(NO3)3 with Zn metal powder (Al:Zn = 2:1) at room temperature (55% yield). The single crystal XRD results are in agreement with those reported previously [see CI 2008-17-015]. The synthesis is scalable to produce large quantities of the compound, which is useful as a precursor to solution-processed Al 2 O 3 and related thin films for electronics. -(WANG, W.;
