“…An unexpected conversion of [1] + into [2] 2 + , which involves substitution of chloride by CH 3 CN at the copper centre, has been observed in CH 3 CN/H 2 O mixtures. Surprisingly, formation of the acetonitrile complex does not occur in neat acetonitrile and requires the presence of water.…”

“…During the course of this work a very interesting and unexpected conversion of cluster [1] + into [2] 2 + was observed in CH 3 CN/H 2 O mixtures, with formation of the acetonitrile complex [2] 2 + from [1] + being promoted by water. From a qualitative point of view, this reaction can be considered a new example of a process driven by solvation of the released chloride, [33][34][35] and a detailed experimental and theoretical study has been carried out with the aim of elucidating the kinetic and mechanistic features of this process.…”

“…[8,28] Herein we report the synthesis of the cationic hydrido clusters [W 3 + . [29] The high stability of [1] + , and its solubility in a wide variety of solvents, makes it a potentially excellent substrate for investigating the mechanism of protonation of hydride complexes. Thus, the terminal hydrides in [W 3 Q 4 H 3 A C H T U N G T R E N N U N G (dmpe) 3 ]…”

A Rare (3,4)‐Connected Chalcogenide Superlattice and Its Photoelectric Effect

The usefulness of cadmium chalcogenide clusters and their organized superlattices in optical, electronic, and catalytic applications [1] has prompted researchers to synthesize cadmium chalcogenide nanostructures of different shapes and sizes. In particular, self-assembly of structurally well-defined cadmium chalcogenide clusters is of interest because their uniform sizes and precisely known structures allow the study of quantum-confinement effects and collective properties at the lower size limit of quantum-dot structures.[2-6] The availability of different cluster sizes and their various spatial organizations may lead to new applications in optoelectronic and catalytic applications.An interesting property of cadmium chalcogenides is their optical response. As photofunctional materials, the cadmium chalcogenide system has been widely studied in solar-energy conversion, semiconductor surface sensitization and modification, and nanoelectronics. Nanoelectronic devices, which may eventually replace microelectronics in communications and computer technology, require the size of a semiconductor to be reduced to nanoscale proportions. Such a size reduction will enhance its electronic, magnetic, and optical properties, and thus enable new applications. In the area of nanostructured materials, chalcogenide clusters such as [Cd 17 S 4 -(SPh) 28 ] 2À (called C1 cluster, the first member of the series of capped supertetrahedral clusters denoted as Cn, n = 1, 2, 3 …) and [Cd 32 Se 14 (SePh) 36 (PPh 3 ) 4 ] (C2) lie at the extreme lower limit of the size spectrum of nanoparticles.[7] Thus, the optical response of these individual clusters and their self-assembled covalent superlattices may have potential applications in nanoelectronics.Recent developments in metal chalcogenides have resulted in a number of 4-connected frameworks with topologies related to polymorphs of SiO 2 such as cristobalite and quartz. [5,[8][9][10] However, to our knowledge, no three-dimensional (3D) framework built from 4-and 3-connected cadmium chalcogenide clusters was known prior to this work. Three-connected centers, when present alone, tend to form low-dimensional structures. However, in combination with 4-connected centers, they can form interesting 3D openframework architectures.[11] Herein we report a novel 3D (3,4) 4 } n ] has the boracite-type topology and exhibits photoelectric behavior. Note that it is difficult to realize oxidebased framework topologies in chalcogenides because of the different bonding geometries surrounding S and O sites. Our research, however, demonstrates that when chalcogenide clusters are used as pseudo-atoms, more diverse oxide-based network topologies become accessible.Boracite, a magnesium chloroborate (Mg 3 B 7 O 12 Cl), is an interesting mineral with a (3,4)-connected net [12] based on corner-sharing BO 3 triangles and BO 4 tetrahedra. Boracite and its derivatives are of particular interest because of their polar structures and technological applications related to their unique piezoelectric, pyroelectric, ferroe...
