Abstract

(Graph Presented) Light switch: A photoelectric chalcogenide with a (3,4)-connected open-framework structure based on large Cd-S-SAr clusters with boracite-type topology has been synthesized. Its structure (depicted: Cd green, S yellow; Ar omitted) and optical properties have been characterized. The superlattice reproducibly generates a transient photocurrent on excitation by visible light (see picture). SAr = 3-methylbenzenethiolate. © 2008 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
