Abstract

Abstract : We demonstrated the first case of a vertex–edge inter-cluster connection mode in a three-dimensional open-framework chalcogenide built from the largest known T5 cluster. Abstract : We demonstrated here the first case of a vertex–edge connection mode in a three-dimensional open-framework chalcogenide built from the largest known T5 cluster. Such connection relies on a tri-coordinated edge sulfur atom, which serves as the linkage to bridge two adjacent T5 clusters. The architecture of the resulting structure can be classified as the infinite order of super-supertetrahedral T5 clusters (T5, ∞).
