Title: A molecular cross-linking approach for hybrid metal oxides

Abstract

Developing methods to create hybrid materials to maximize their transformative capabilities has been the subject of significant interest. In particular, several key methods have been developed to manipulate earth abundant metal oxides such as TiO2 to produce hybrid materials with improved or new properties relevant to a broad spectrum of applications. Here, we introduce a new approach we refer to as “molecular doping”, whereby a hybrid molecular boron oxide material is formed from polyhedral boron cluster precursors of the type [B12(OH)12]2-. This new approach is enabled by the inherent robustness of the boron cluster molecular building block, which is compatible with harsh thermal and oxidizing conditions that are necessary for the synthesis of many metal oxides. In this work, we show how this material can be successfully interfaced with TiO2, resulting in boron-rich hybrid materials with unprecedented photophysical and electrochemical properties.
