A novel and interesting Yb₈ cluster, namely [Yb₈(acac)₄(HL)₄(L)₂(μ₃-O)₄(C₂H₅O)₄]·2C₂H₅OH·2CH₂Cl₂ (1) (H₂L=2-hydroxy-benzoic acid (5-hydroxymethyl-furan-2-ylmethylene)-hydrazide, and Hacac=acetylacetone), has been constructed by using a polydentate Schiff base ligand (H₂L). X-ray diffraction analysis indicates that cluster 1 shows a central symmetric octanuclear structure. The eight-coordinated Yb1(Ⅲ) ion possesses a distorted bi-augmented trigonal prism geometrical configuration; while the three seven-coordinated Yb(Ⅲ) ions (Yb2, Yb3, and Yb4) possess capped trigonal prism, pentagonal bipyramid, and capped octahedron geometrical configuration, respectively. Cluster 1 possesses excellent solvent stability. Moreover, the photoluminescence property study shows that 1 displayed typical near-infrared luminescence of Yb(Ⅲ) at room temperature. Interestingly, cluster 1 exhibited high catalytic activity and can effectively catalyze the cycloaddition reaction of CO₂ with various epoxides. As a heterogeneous catalyst, cluster 1 showed good cycling performance.
