Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201302565-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>A new family of thiometalate‐based composite molecular materials</bold> is synthesized and characterized. 1.6 and 1.9 nm‐sized clusters are observed in the gas phase utilizing high‐resolution ESI‐MS. The diversity of the selenite anions as an inorganic ligand is demonstrated by the isolation of the highest nuclearity selenium‐based oxothiometalate materials reported so far. The observed proton conductivity of the selenite based oxothiometalate species renders them as promising alternative materials for fuel‐cell applications. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg3x9147zf" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
