A neutral weakly-donating [MoO3(tacn)] (tacn = 1,4,7-triazacyclononane) metalloligand has proved useful to stabilize Ti4+or In3+cation in aqueous solution. Thus, the reaction of [MoO3(tacn)] with TiOSO4or In(NO3)3in water affords a complex cation [Ti{MoO3(tacn)}6]4+(1) or [In{MoO3(tacn)}6]3+(2), respectively. The Ti4+or In3+cation is homoleptically coordinated by six [MoO3(tacn)] metalloligands. Each [MoO3(tacn)] coordinates Ti4+or In3+via one of its three oxygen atoms; the other two oxygens are hydrogen-bonded to NH groups of the neighboring [MoO3(tacn)]. These hydrogen bonding networks (i) strengthen [MoO3(tacn)] coordination to the Ti4+or In3+center and (ii) orient the six [MoO3(tacn)] units into two tripod-like arms that can catch a cation. One of the arms binds a tetramethylammonium cation through non-covalent CH···O bonds in1or afac-{In(OH2)3}3+cation through In–O coordination bonds in2. Complex1dissolves intact in dry acetonitrile, as confirmed by1H NMR spectroscopy and ESI-mass spectrometry. Addition of water or formamide to the acetonitrile solution disrupts the hydrogen bond networks and triggers dissociation of [MoO3(tacn)] from Ti4+, and importantly, the number of dissociated ligands can be managed by changing the amount of water or formamide. Therefore1is a prominent precursor for bottom-up synthesis of titanium–oxo clusters.
