Fluorite‐Type Silsesquioxane‐Protected Cerium Cluster as Molecular Analog of Highly Reduced Nanoceria Fragment for Efficient Photocatalysis

ABSTRACT The surface oxygen vacancy defects generated from the abstraction of lattice oxygen atoms of bulk ceria accompanied by the reduction of Ce IV to Ce III , are considered to play a pivotal role in photocatalysis. As ideal molecular models of nanoceria, atom‐precise cerium‐...
