Some complex inorganic oxides are known that they may be promising color materials （absorbing visible light of certain wavelengths region） having potential application for environmentally benign catalysts, for example, photocatalysts. Chiral copper（Ⅱ） complexes having bidentate amine ligands （[CuL2]2＋） can be acted as cationic building blocks of bimetallic metal complexes. We have prepared some chiral bimetallic complexes with various anionic metal complexes such as [PtCl4]2-, [M02O7]2 and Mn12 clusters （typical single-molecule magnets） which characterized by means of solid-state electronic and CD （circular dichroism） spectra, IR （infrared） spectra, synchrotron XRD （X-ray diffraction） and XAS （soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy）. By sintering these precursor chiral bimetallic complexes, we have prepared complex inorganic oxides from them. The IR spectra indicated substituting metal-ligand bonds and losing organic moieties. The XRD pattern indicated complete changes of crystal structures. The XAS revealed replacing coordination atoms as well as oxidation of valences of metal ions. Furthermore, we will also investigate possibility of patterning by homogeneous precipitation method as bimetallic complexes to prepare desirable complex inorganic oxides.展开更多
