A three-dimensional open-framework indium selenide: [C(7)H(10)N][In(9)Se(14)].
An open-framework indium selenide, [C7H10N][In9Se14], has been prepared under solvothermal conditions in the presence of 3,5-dimethylpyridine and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetry, elemental analysis, Fourier tranform IR spectroscopy, and UV-vis diffuse reflectance. The crystal structure of [C7H10N][In9Se14] contains an unusual building unit, in which corner- and edge-linked InSe45- tetrahedra coexist. The presence of one-dimensional circular channels, of ca. 6 A diameter, results in approximately 25% of solvent-accessible void space.
