title: A wheel-shaped indium-telluride nanocluster [In18Te30(dach)6]6-: its formation and structure.
abstract: The preparation and crystal structure of a large wheel-shaped indium-telluride compound are reported. The inorganic cluster is decorated with 1,2-diaminocyclohexane molecules that play an important role in the formation of the nanoring. A related new 1D polymeric InTe compound is also presented in order to understand the effect of acidity on the formation of the ring structure.
