Low-dimensional hybrid inorganic-organic frameworks exhibit high structural flexibility and allow for the inclusion of various magnetic optically-active species into their host structures. The emergence copper-based structures for...
The low-temperature modification of β-Ag2Se has proven to be useful as a near-room-temperature thermoelectric material. Over the past years, research been devoted interstitial, vacancy, and substitutional doping into parent structure, aiming at tuning material's charge heat transport properties enhance performance. transformation α-Ag2Se ∼134 °C low solubility dopants are main obstacles for approach. Herein, we report facile, safe, scalable, cost-effective benchtop approach successfully...
The inertness of elemental selenium is a significant obstacle in the synthesis selenium-containing materials at low reaction temperatures. Over years, several recipes have been developed to overcome this hurdle; however, most methods are associated with use highly toxic, expensive, and environmentally harmful reagents. As such, there an increasing demand for design cheap, stable, nontoxic reactive precursors usable low-temperature transition metal selenides vast applications nanotechnology,...
[Fe(en)(tren)][FeSe2]2 (en = ethylenediamine, C2H8N2, tren tris(2-aminoethyl)amine, C6H18N4) has been synthesized by a mixed-ligand solvothermal method. Its crystal structure contains heteroleptic [Fe(en)(tren)]2+ complexes with distorted octahedral coordination, incorporated between 1D-FeSe2 chains composed of edge–sharing FeSe4 tetrahedra. The twisted coordination environment the Fe–amine complex leads to partial dimerization Fe–Fe distances in FeSe2 so that polyhedra deviate strongly from...
2D materials showcase unconventional properties emerging from quantum confinement effects. In this work, a "soft chemical" route allows for the deintercalation of K
