Novel organically linked ZnII hydrogenselenite coordination polymers: synthesis, characterization, and efficient TiO2 photosensitization for enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen production

“…31–35 Another promising avenue involves incorporating chalcogen elements or depositing metal chalcogenides on TiO 2 to boost its photocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution. 36–39 Despite these advancements, the potential of coordination compounds/polymers supported on semiconductors, particularly TiO 2 , remains largely unexplored. 40–43 This research direction holds considerable promise and could offer new insights and possibilities for further improving the photocatalytic performance of TiO 2 in hydrogen evolution.…”

Bis(2-pyridyl)ditellane as a precursor to CoII, CuI and CuII complex formation: structural characterization and photocatalytic studies

“…10,11 Our interest in the study of the d block metal complexes with selenium and tellurium is due to their application in designing new materials. 18,19 Metal complexes containing pyridylselenium ligands have shown interesting properties in catalysis and antibacterial activity. [20][21][22] Coordination compounds can also be used in the photocatalytic water splitting reaction for hydrogen production.…”

Systematic Access of Ternary Organotetrel‐Copper Chalcogenide Clusters by [PhTE3]3− Anions (T=Si, Sn; E=S, Se)

“…[1,2] Discrete complexes and clusters of such compositions have received a lot of attention in recent times owing to their potential as precursors to said materials, as showcased for CuInE 2 (E = S, Se), a promising semiconductor material for energy conversion in solar cells. [3][4][5][6][7] For this reason, many activities in this direction so far have addressed group 13 compounds, be it as supertetrahedral anions [8][9][10][11][12] or as neutral cages. [13][14][15][16][17] Krautscheid and co-authors have published a series of investigations on compounds exhibiting organic substituents at the group 13 metal, such as [R 3 PCu) 4 (MeM) 4 E 6 ] (R = organic substituent; M = Ga, In).…”

“…Ternary chalcogenide compounds of copper and a p‐block metal, in particular CuSn(S/Se)‐based materials, are currently actively investigated because of their opto‐electronic as well as their thermoelectric properties [1,2] . Discrete complexes and clusters of such compositions have received a lot of attention in recent times owing to their potential as precursors to said materials, as showcased for CuInE 2 (E=S, Se), a promising semiconductor material for energy conversion in solar cells [3–7] . For this reason, many activities in this direction so far have addressed group 13 compounds, be it as supertetrahedral anions [8–12] or as neutral cages [13–17] .…”
