Semiconducting Compounds

Two different two-dimensional thiostannates (SnS) were synthesized using tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (tren) or 1-(2-aminoethyl)piperidine (1AEP) as structure-directing agents. Both structures consist of negatively charged thiostannate layers with charge stabilizing cations sandwiched in-between. The fundamental building units are Sn3S4broken-cube clusters connected by double sulfur bridges to form polymeric (Sn3S72−)nhoneycomb hexagonal layers. The compounds are members of theR-SnS-1 family of structures, whereRindicates the type of cation. Despite consisting of identical structural units, the band gaps of the two semiconducting compounds were found to differ substantially at 2.96 eV (violet–blue light) and 3.21 eV (UV light) for tren–SnS-1 and 1AEP–SnS-1, respectively. Aiming to explain the observed differences in optical properties, the structures of the two thiostannates were investigated in detail based on combined X-ray diffraction, solid-state13C and119Sn MAS NMR spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy studies. The compound tren–SnS-1 has a hexagonal structure consisting of planar SnS layers with regular hexagonal pores and disordered cations, whereas 1AEP–SnS-1 has an orthorhombic unit cell with ordered cations, distorted hexagonal pores and non-planar SnS layers. In the formation of 1AEP–SnS-1, an intramolecular reaction of the structure-directing piperidine takes place to form anN-heterobicyclic cation throughin situC—H activation. Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to investigate the interaction between the SnS layers and cations in 1AEP–SnS-1 and revealed that the most nucleophilic part of the SnS sheets is one of the two crystallographically distinct double sulfur bridges.

Cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanocrystals (NCs) were self-assembled and in-situ immobilized on the dithiocarbamate (DTCs)-functionalized polyethylene glycol terephthalate (PET) substrates between the organic (carbon disulfide diffused in n-hexane) –aqueous (ethylenediamine and Cd2+ dissolved in water) interface at room temperature. Powder X-ray diffraction measurement revealed the hexagonal structure of CdS nanocrystals. Morphological studies performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) showed the island-like structure of CdS nanocrystals on PET substrates, as well as energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) confirmed the stoichiometries of CdS nanocrystals. The optical properties of DTCs modified CdS nanocrystals were thoroughly investigated by ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy (UV-vis) and fluorescence spectroscopy. The as-prepared DTCs present intrinsic hydrophobicity and strong affinity for CdS nanocrystals.

A novel twofold interpenetrating two-dimensional (2D) ZnII coordination framework, poly[[(μ-1,3-bis(2-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzene-κ2 N 3:N 3)(μ-naphthalene-2,6-dicarboxylato-κ2 O 2:O 6)zinc(II)] dimethylformamide monosolvate], {[Zn(C12H6O4)(C14H14N4)]·C3H7NO} n or {[Zn(1,3-BMIB)(NDC)]·DMF} n (I), where H2NDC is naphthalene-2,6-dicarboxylic acid, 1,3-BMIB is 1,3-bis(2-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzene and DMF is dimethylformamide, was prepared and characterized through IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, thermal analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that (I) exhibits an unusual twofold interpenetrating 2D network. In addition, it displays strong fluorescence emissions and a high photocatalytic activity for the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) under UV-light irradiation.

The Ni/Ge0.9Sn0.1 solid-state reaction was monitored by combining in situ X-ray diffraction, in-plane reciprocal space map measurements and in-plane pole figures. A sequential growth was shown, in which the first phase formed was an Ni-rich phase. Then, at 518 K, the mono-stanogermanide phase Ni(Ge0.9Sn0.1) was observed. This phase was stable up to 873 K. Special attention has been given to the nature and the crystallographic orientation of the Ni-rich phase obtained at low temperature. It is demonstrated, with in-plane pole figure measurements and simulation, that it was the ∊-Ni5(Ge0.9Sn0.1)3 metastable phase with a hexagonal structure.

ABSTRACTLiNi0.8Co0.2O2 and LiNiO2 have been characterized in-situ XRD. LiNi0.8Co0.2O2 does not undergo a monoclinic phase transformation but remains a hexagonal lattice throughout the entire charging cycle. It is hypothesized that Co-doping may help stabilize the hexagonal structure.

Since the rare earth based compounds have shown excellent properties such as luminescence and photo-electric transformation effect due to their 4f electronic structures. A novel Sm-doped CuIn1-xSmxTe2 semiconducting compounds have been designed and their crystal structures, microstructures and optical properties have been investigated using X-ray diffraction(XRD), scan electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet and visible spectrophotometer and Raman scattering. The results reveal that the doping of samarium into CuInTe2 (CIT) could stabilize the chalcopyrite structure, the lattice parameters shows fluctuation phenomenon with doping Sm in CIT. The SEM morphologies show that the grains tend to be agglomeration and form the column-like or the flake-like single crystals. The band gap Eg are corresponding to 1.25eV and 1.32eV before and after doping Sm with 0.1 mole into CuInTe2. Raman scattering analysis proves that Sm significantly adjusts the atomic vibrating models, and result in the losses of some vibrating peaks. It reveals that doping of Sm into CuInTe2 is helpful for the absorption of spectra with special frequencies.
