The new pentanuclear alkoxide, μ5-oxo-bis(μ3-isopropoxo)hexakis(μ2-isopropoxo)hexakis(isopropoxo)tetraterbium(III)titanium μ5-oxo-bis(μ3-isopropoxo)hexakis (μ2-isopropoxo)hexakis(isopropoxo)tetraerbium(III)titanium, with the composition [(Tb0.9Er0.1)4Ti(μ5-O)(μ3-OR)2(μ2-OR)6(OR)6] (R = iPr = C3H7O) has a metal-oxygen Ln4TiO14 core which consists of five metal atoms arranged in approximately trigonal bipyramidal geometry with a μ5-O atom in the centre of the polyhedron. The lanthanide atoms are sixfold coordinated and the Ti atom is fivefold coordinated, both by O atoms.
