Abstract
The research into adamantane-type compounds has gained momentum in recent years, yielding remarkable new applications for this class of materials. In particular, organic adamantane derivatives (AdR4) or inorganic adamantane-type compounds of the general formula [(RT)4E6] (R: organic substituent; T: group 14 atom C, Si, Ge, Sn; E: chalcogenide atom S, Se, Te, or CH2) were shown to exhibit strong nonlinear optical (NLO) properties, either second-harmonic generation (SHG) or an unprecedented type of highly-directed white-light generation (WLG) - depending on their respective crystalline or amorphous nature. The (missing) crystallinity, as well as the maximum wavelengths of the optical transitions, are controlled by the clusters' elemental composition and by the nature of the organic groups R. Very recently, it has been additionally shown that cluster cores with increased inhomogeneity, like the one in compounds [RSi{CH2Sn(E)R'}3], not only affect the chemical properties, such as increased robustness and reversible melting behaviour, but that such 'cluster glasses' form a conceptually new basis for their use in light conversion devices. These findings are likely only the tip of the iceberg, as beside elemental combinations including group 14 and group 16 elements, many more adamantane-type clusters (on the one hand) and related architectures representing extensions of adamantane-type clusters (on the other hand) are known, but have not yet been addressed in terms of their opto-electronic properties. In this review, we therefore present a survey of all known classes of adanmantane-type compounds and their respective synthetic access as well as their optical properties, if reported.

Abstract
A new layered metal sulfide, namely (C6H15N3)1.3(NH4)1.5H1.5In3SnS8 (1, C6H15N3 = N-(2-aminoethyl) piperazine), has been solvothermally synthesized and characterized. Compound 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c. Its structure features a two-dimensional layer of {In3SnS8}n3n- with the (4,4) topology net, which is formed by interlinking supertetrahedral T2 clusters as secondary building units. Band structure calculations revealed that 1 had a band gap of 2.7 eV. The photoelectric response of 1 showed steady and reversible on/off cycles with an "on" state of 121.13 nA cm-2. Moreover, the activation of 1 by replacing the sluggish organic cations with harder K+ ions endowed the material with improved adsorption performances for Sr2+ ions from aqueous solutions.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 458:132038. [PMID: 37463560 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.132038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2023] [Revised: 07/08/2023] [Accepted: 07/09/2023] [Indexed: 07/20/2023]
Abstract
Efficient adsorption of radioactive 137Cs+ and 60Co2+ and their decay products 137Ba2+ and 60Ni2+ bears significance for hazard elimination in case of nuclear emergency, which relies on the adsorption rate enhancement that takes advantages of compositional and structural optimization. Herein, we report a zinc-doped selenidostannate constructed from T2-supertetrahedral clusters, namely K3.4(CH3NH3)0.45(NH4)0.15Zn2Sn3Se10·3.4 H2O (ZnSnSe-1K). The soft Se and micro-porosity synergistically endow this material with a binding affinity to Cs+, Ba2+, Co2+, and Ni2+ ions and ultrafast kinetics with R > 97.6% in 2-60 min. In particular, ZnSnSe-1K can remove 99.34% of Cs+ in 2 min (KdCs > 1.5 × 105 mL g-1), contributing to a record rate constant k2 of 9.240 g mg-1 min-1 that surpasses all metal chalcogenide adsorbents. ZnSnSe-1K exhibits good acid/base tolerance (pH = 0-12), and the adsorption capacities at neutral are 253.61 ± 9.15, 108.94 ± 25.32, 45.76 ± 14.19 and 38.49 ± 2.99 mg g-1 for Cs+, Ba2+, Co2+, and Ni2+, respectively. The adsorption performances resist well co-existing cations and anions, and the removal rates can keep above or close to 90% even in sea water. ZnSnSe-1K is employed in continuous column and membrane filtration, both of which shows excellent elimination efficiency (R > 99%) for mixed Cs+, Ba2+, Co2+, and Ni2+. Especially, the membrane with an ultrathin (70 µm) ZnSnSe-1K layer can remove 97-100% Cs+ in suction filtration with a short contact time of 0.33 s. Combined with the simple synthesis, facile elution and great irradiation resistance, ZnSnSe-1K emerges as a selenide adsorbent candidate for use in environmental remediation especially that involving nuclear waste disposal.

Abstract
The discovery of synthetic Bi3O(OH)(PO4)2 [BOHP] and its application toward photocatalytic oxidation of the water contaminant perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) have prompted further interest in development. Despite its high activity toward PFOA degradation, the scarce appearance in the literature and lack of research have left a knowledge gap in the understanding of BOHP synthesis, formation, and photocatalytic activity. Herein, we explore the crystallization of BOHP microparticles via hydrothermal syntheses, focusing on the influence of ions and organics present in the reaction solution when using different hydroxide amendments (NaOH, NH4OH, NMe4OH, and NEt4OH). To better understand the unique structure-activity aspects of BOHP, the related bismuth oxy phosphate (BOP) structural family was also explored, including A-BOP (A = Na+ and K+) and M-BOP derivatives (M = Ca2+, Sr2+, and Pb2+). Results from materials characterization, including X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, indicated that the crystal structure, morphology, and atomic composition were significantly influenced by solution pH, inorganic metal cations (Na+, K+, Ca2+, Sr2+, and Pb2+), and organic amines. Experiments involving ultraviolet photocatalytic destruction of PFOA by a BOHP suspension revealed that catalytic activity was influenced by the choice of reagents and their variable effect on surface facet growth and crystal defects in the resulting microparticles. Together, this work provides a strategy for crystal facet and surface defect engineering with the potential to expand to other metal oxides within the hydrothermal system.

Abstract
Inorganic-organic hybrid aluminoborates represent a subclass of porous materials, which rely on effective construction method and structure-directing agents. Herein, we prepared a series of hybrid aluminoborates through covalent decoration of unsaturated Cd2+ complexes, whose formation take advantage of chelating amine and long-chain diamine as mixed ligands. These isolated compounds, that is, [Cd(en)(1,4-dab)0.5][AlB5O10] (1a; its analogue with discrete complex [Cd(en)(dien)H2O][AlB5O10] is denoted as 1b), [Cd(1,2-dap)1.5(1,4-dabH)0.5]{Al[B5O8(OH)2](B5O10)0.5} (2), and [Cd(en)(1,3-dap)][AlB5O10] (3) feature open frameworks (1a, 1b, and 3) or a sandwich-like porous layer (2) that are constructed by AlO4 tetrahedra and [B5O10]5-/[B5O8(OH)2]3- clusters. However, they exhibit different structural features in interconnection, channel environment, and topology as a result of diversified interactions between unsaturated complexes and aluminoborate frameworks, that is, through forming two Cd-O bonds with (i) a pair of neighboring BO3 and AlO4, (ii) the same AlO4, or (iii) the same BO3. The variation in connection mode exerts essential influence on binding effects and steric hindrance that are reflected by changes in interatomic distance, bond angle, window configuration, and interlinkage of units. In addition, the incorporation of unsaturated Cd2+ complexes endows these aluminoborate materials with photoluminescence function. Compound 3 with a noncentrosymmetric structure exhibits second harmonic generation (SHG) response approximately 0.7 times that of KDP. The preparation strategy for hybrid aluminoborates proposed here combines well molecular design with templating assembly, whose synergistic effect would be crucial for drawing a rational pathway for inorganic synthesis, especially with focus on structural and functional innovation.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 425:128007.

Abstract
Removal of radioactive 133Ba, 60Co and 63Ni and their nonradioactive isotopes through ion exchange method would be highly beneficial for the safe disposal of liquid industrial waste, and it also bears importance for the emergency response to nuclear accident. Herein, we report the employment of an indium sulfide [CH3CH2NH3]6In8S15 (InS-2) with exchangeable ethylammonium cations for efficient and selective uptake of Ba2+, Co2+ and Ni2+. The corner-sharing linkage of P1-{In8S17} clusters in InS-2 endow the layered structure with nanoscale windows, which facilitates both transfer and accommodation of the large hydrated divalent metal ions. This results in ultrafast exchange kinetics (10-20 min) and top-level exchange capacities of 211.73 mg g-1 for Ba2+, 103.57 mg g-1 for Co2+, and 111.78 mg g-1 for Ni2+. Particularly, InS-2 achieves ultrahigh Kd values of 2.3 × 105 mL g-1 for Ba2+, 2.0 × 105 mL g-1 for Co2+ and 1.6 × 105 mL g-1 for Ni2+, corresponding to remarkable removal efficiencies larger than 99.4% (C0 ~ 6 ppm). InS-2 shows high β and γ irradiation resistance, wide pH durability (pH 3-13 for Ba2+, pH 3-11 for Co2+ and Ni2+), and outstanding selectivity against competitor ions (e.g. Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+). The InS-2-filled ion exchange column exhibits a fantastic removal effect (R > 99%) for mixed Ba2+, Co2+, Ni2+, as well as Sr2+. The ultralong column-treatment on 20000 BVs of flow reveals an affinity order of Co2+ > Ni2+ > Ba2+ > Sr2+ for InS-2, which gives deep insights into the adsorption process and interaction between competitor ions. This excellent uptake of Ba2+ (Ra by analogy), Co2+ and Ni2+ ions by InS-2 highlights the great potential of metal chalcogenides as a type of promising materials for minimizing contamination in complex wastewater.

Abstract
Incorporating transition metal (TM) complexes into cluster-based chalcogenide frameworks is an effective synthetic strategy to induce structural diversity and control the optoelectronic properties, which may further improve their photocatalytic performance. However, limited studies have been conducted on frameworks constructed by TM complexes covalently bonded with supertetrahedral Tn clusters, let alone on their properties, especially photocatalytic H2 activity. Herein, three new isostructural three-dimensional (3D) neutral inorganic-organic open frameworks of gallium thioantimonate comprised of thiogallate-based supertetrahedral T3 clusters that are covalently bonded with TM complexes ([TM(TEPA)]2+, TM = Mn/Ni/Fe, TEPA = tetraethylenepentamine) at the edges and are linked by single Sb3+ ions at the corner, namely, NCF-3-Mn/Ni/Fe have been solvothermally synthesized and structurally characterized, and display good thermal and chemical stability. Benefiting from an adjustable TM centre, the title compounds possess tunable photocatalytic H2 evolution activity, among which NCF-3-Mn exhibits the highest photocatalytic activity probably due to its favourable band structure and enhanced carrier separation efficiency.

Introducing transition metals into the intercluster linkers has been considered an important strategy for the rapid development of metal chalcogenide supertetrahedral (Tn) cluster-based open frameworks with excellent properties. However, using this strategy for achieving the structure and property tunability in the cluster-based framework of Tn (n ≥ 5) is still a great challenge. Herein, we report on three new sulfide and oxosulfide open frameworks of T5 clusters, i.e., T5-ZnMnInOS ([In30Zn5Mn4O2S58]12-), T5-MnInOS ([In34Mn5O2S58]8-), and T5-MnInS ([In28Mn6S54]12-). Interestingly, transition metals Zn and Mn are successfully introduced into T5-ZnMnInOS and T5-MnInOS via the consolidation of corner-shared Zn2OS2 and Mn2OS2 units, respectively. Under the photoexcitation of UV light, three compounds can emit bright-orange-red light closely associated with the Mn2+ ions, and the compounds containing M2OS2 units exhibit better photoluminescence (PL) lifetimes. Variable-temperature PL spectra demonstrate that the introduced M2OS2 units are favorable for weakening the deformation of the skeleton structure and decreasing the red shifts of the emission peaks at low temperatures. Moreover, the experimental results exhibit that the three compounds are wide-band-gap semiconductors and that the photogenerated electron separation efficiency can be doubly increased because the intercluster linkers are fixed by the M2OS2 units. This work paves a new way for enriching the content and distribution types of transition-metal sites in the supertetrahedral cluster-based metal chalcogenide open frameworks.

Abstract
Large discrete supertetrahedral clusters of metal chalcogenides are rare due to the difficulty of crystallizing solids in which the negative charge of the cluster is balanced by the positive charges of the countercations. Here, we describe a discrete ligand-free T3 supertetrahedral cluster, [Ga10S16(SH)4]6-, which was successfully synthesized in the presence of the superbase 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) using the neutral surfactant polyethyleneglycol (PEG)-400 as the reaction solvent. Protonated DBUH+ cations are incorporated into the crystal structure of the product, which can be formulated as [C9H17N2]6[Ga10S16(SH)4]. This compound, which represents the first example of a discrete ligand-free T3 cluster of gallium sulfide, was fully characterized by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance. The results presented here indicate that the use of surfactants as solvents offers potential for the preparation of new compounds containing supertetrahedral clusters.
