The syntheses, crystal structures, and catalytic radical scavenging activity are reported for four new molecular clusters that have resulted from a bottom-up molecular approach to nanoscale CeO2. They are [Ce6O4(OH)4(dmb)12(H2O)4] (dmb- = 2,6-dimethoxybenzoate), [Ce16O17(OH)6(O2CPh)24(HO2CPh)4], [Ce19O18(OH)9(O2CPh)27(H2O)(py)3], and [Ce24O27(OH)9(O2CPh)30(py)4]. They represent a major expansion of our family of so-called "molecular nanoparticles" of this metal oxide to seven members, and their crystal structures confirm that their cores all possess the fluorite structure of bulk CeO2. In addition, they have allowed the identification of surface features such as the close location of multiple Ce3+ ions and organic ligand binding modes not seen previously. The ability of all seven members to catalytically scavenge reactive oxygen species has been investigated using HO• radicals, an important test reaction in the ceria nanoparticle biomedical literature, and most have been found to exhibit excellent antioxidant activities compared to traditional ceria nanoparticles, with their activity correlating inversely with their surface Ce3+ content.
