Abstract
One of the most exciting recent developments concerning molecular architectures is the emerging field of crystalline chalcogenide superlattices that bridges two traditional but distinct areas of research: chalcogenide clusters and porous materials. By combining synthetic and structural concepts in these two areas, many crystalline solids containing spatially organized chalcogenide clusters have been created that exhibit varied properties ranging from microporosity, fast ion conductivity, and photoluminescence to narrow and tunable electronic band gaps. The potential applications of these materials extend beyond traditional areas such as acid catalysis or adsorption-based separation to include shape- or size-selective photocatalysis, solid-state ionics, and electrochemistry.
