Abstract
Section titled “Abstract”Reported here are three new In-Se open frameworks with unique polyselenide ion as linker. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses demonstrate that supertetrahedral Tn (n = 2, 3) clusters serving as secondary building units in these compounds are connected via polyselenide ligands to form the interrupted or elongated diamond topologies. UV-vis absorption analysis and photoelectric response measurements indicate that these In-Se frameworks retain semiconductor properties, making them potential candidates in photocatalytic applications.
