Abstract

Reported here is a new organic–inorganic hybrid compound {[(Ga10S17)(H+–AEP)2]·(H+–AEP)2} (1) with an one-chain structure and an unprecedented corner-coordination mode between the amine group from the 1-(2-aminoethyl)piperazine ligand and gallium ions in metal chalcogenide supertetrahedral cluster. This is the first observation that a metal chalcogenide supertetrahedral cluster is corner-coordinated by an amine group from alicyclic ammonia. The characterization of UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and optoelectronic properties on 1 indicated its potential application in semiconductor devices and photoelectric sensors.
