Abstract

A new two-dimensional (2D) oxosulfide, (N₂H₄)₂Mn₃Sb₄S₈(μ₃-OH)₂ (1), has been successfully synthesized under surfactant-thermal conditions with hexadecyltributylphosphonium bromide as the surfactant. Compound 1 has a layered structure and contains a novel [Mn₃(μ₃-OH)₂]_n chain along the b-axis. The photocatalytic activity for compound 1 has been demonstrated under visible-light irradiation and continuous H₂ evolution was observed. Our results indicate that surfactant-thermal synthesis could be a promising method for growing novel crystalline oxochalcogenides with interesting structures and properties. © 2014 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
