Using thiol-amine solvent mixture to prepare main group heterometallic chalcogenides

(C6H15N3)1.3(NH4)1.5H1.5In3SnS8: a layered metal sulfide based on supertetrahedral T2 clusters with photoelectric response and ion exchange properties

“…From 417 °C to 1000 °C, 1 undergoes a weight loss of 28.94%, which may be ascribed to the collapse of the anionic framework. [34][35][36][37][38] The optical properties of 1 were investigated using UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. 1 exhibits strong optical absorption mainly in the visible range.…”

Adamantane-type clusters: compounds with a ubiquitous architecture but a wide variety of compositions and unexpected materials properties

“…19 ) is obtained solvothermally from In(NO 3 ) and GeO 2 . 518 Its structure can be understood as a [Ge 4 S 10 ] 4− adamantane-type in which one GeS unit is substituted by an InS 2 GeOH(SH) 2 fragment.…”

Strong Photoelectric Properties of Mn‐Based Seleniumstannates with Alkali Metals as Structure‐Directing Agents

“…Scientists are fascinated by chalcogenides containing group 14 elements due to their diverse structure and potential applications in semiconductors, magnetism, photocatalysis, and others [1–17] . The mild solvothermal synthesis has proven to be an effective route for the preparation of metal chalcogenides, in which alkali metal (or alkali earth metal) ions and transition‐metal complexes usually serve as structure‐directing agents.…”

“…Scientists are fascinated by chalcogenides containing group 14 elements due to their diverse structure and potential applications in semiconductors, magnetism, photocatalysis, and others. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] The mild solvothermal synthesis has proven to be an effective route for the preparation of metal chalcogenides, in which alkali metal (or alkali earth metal) ions and transitionmetal complexes usually serve as structure-directing agents. In addition, it is possible for Sn 4 + ions to be coordinated with different numbers (4, 5 or 6) of chalcogen, and the major building blocks can be combine into Sn x Q y (Q = S, Se)skeletons by sharing edges or corners.…”
