Abstract
The rational design of crystalline clusters with adjustable compositions and dimensions is highly sought after but quite challenging as it is important to understand their structural evolution processes and to systematically establish structure-property relationships. Herein, a family of organotin-based sulfidometalate supertetrahedral clusters has been prepared via mixed metal and organotin strategies at low temperatures (60-120 °C). By engineering the metal composition, we can effectively control the size of the clusters, which ranges from 8 to 35, accompanied by variable configurations: P1-[(RSn)4M4S13], T3-[(RSn)4In4M2S16] (R = nbutyl-Bu and phenyl-Ph; M = Cd, Zn, and Mn), T4-[(BuSn)4In13Cu3S31], truncated P2, viz. TP2-[(BuSn)6In10Cu6S31], and even T5-[(BuSn)4In22Zn6Cu3S52], all of which are the largest organometallic supertetrahedral clusters known to date. Of note, the arylstannane approach plays a critical role in regulating the peripheral ligands and further enriching geometric structures of the supertetrahedral clusters. This is demonstrated by the formation of tin-oxysulfide clusters, such as T3-[(RSn)4Sn6O4S16] (R = Bu, Ph, and benzyl = Be) and its variants, truncated T3, viz., TT3-[(BuSn)6Sn3O4S13] and augmented T3, viz., T3-[(Bu3SnS)4Sn6O4S16]. Especially, two extraordinary truncated clusters break the tetrahedral symmetry observed in typical supertetrahedral clusters, further substantiating the advantages offered by the arylstannane approach in expanding cluster chemistry. These organometallic supertetrahedral clusters are highly soluble and stable in common solvents. Additionally, they have tunable third-order nonlinear optical behaviors by controlling the size, heterometallic combination, organic modification, and intercluster interaction.

Abstract
Metal chalcogenide supertetrahedral clusters (MCSCs) are of significance for developing crystalline porous framework materials and atomically precise cluster chemistry. Early research interest focused on the synthetic and structural chemistry of MCSC-based porous semiconductor materials with different cluster sizes/compositions and their applications in adsorption-based separation and optoelectronics. More recently, focus has shifted to the cluster chemistry of MCSCs to establish atomically precise structure-composition-property relationships, which are critical for regulating the properties and expanding the applications of MCSCs. Importantly, MCSCs are similar to II-VI or I-III-VI semiconductor nanocrystals (also called quantum dots, QDs) but avoid their inherent size polydispersity and structural ambiguity. Thus, discrete MCSCs, especially those that are solution-processable, could provide models for understanding various issues that cannot be easily clarified using QDs. This review covers three decades of efforts on MCSCs, including advancements in MCSC-based open frameworks (reticular chemistry), the precise structure-property relationships of MCSCs (cluster chemistry), and the functionalization and applications of MCSC-based microcrystals. An outlook on remaining problems to be solved and future trends is also presented.

Abstract
ConspectusMetal chalcogenide supertetrahedral clusters (MCSCs) bear the closest structural resemblance to II-VI or I-III-VI semiconductor nanocrystals and can be considered as well-defined ultrasmall "quantum dots" (QDs). Compared to traditional colloidal QDs that are typically associated with size dispersity, irregular surface atomic structures, poorly defined core-ligand interfaces, and random defect/dopant sites, the nano- or subnano-sized MCSCs feature precise structural properties such as atomically uniform size, precise structure, and ordered dopant distribution, all of which offer ample opportunities for a broad and in-depth understanding of the correlation between the precise local structure and site- or size-dependent properties, which are critical to the exploitation of their functional applications. Our previous Account in 2005 provided a narrative on the efforts to expand the structural diversity of open-framework materials using different-sized and compositionally tunable clusters as building blocks with a primary objective of integrating the semiconducting properties with porosity in zeolite-type solids. Over the past 15 years, significant progress has been made, particularly in the synthetic control of discrete clusters, allowing the establishment of the composition-structure-property correlation of the MCSCs to guide the optimization of their properties for various applications. In the present Account, the recent progress in MCSC-based chemistry is reviewed from three aspects: (1) controllable synthesis of new members and types of MCSC models and the development of organic-ligand-directed hybrid assembly modes for MCSC-based open frameworks; (2) new synthetic strategies for the discretization of MCSCs in crystal lattice and their dispersibility in solvents, affording practical applications of pure inorganic MCSCs as nanomaterials; and (3) functionality of MCSC-based materials including photochemical and electrochemical properties triggered by precise dopant/defect sites, open-framework-related functional expansion via host-guest chemistry, and dispersed cluster-based composite materials with synergy from functional multimetallic components. All these advances show that MCSCs with well-defined structures and atomically precise dopant/defect sites are powerful model systems for establishing the precise structure-composition-property correlation and understanding the photophysical dynamic behaviors, both of which are difficult or impossible to achieve in the traditional QD system. Perspectives on their potential applications are presented in terms of the amorphous assemblies of monodispersed MCSCs, MCSC-based two-dimensional layered materials, and optical/electronic devices.

Abstract
Although supertetrahedral Tn sulfide clusters (n=2-6) have been extensively explored, the synthesis of Tn selenide clusters with n>4 has not been achieved thus far. Reported here are ionic-liquid (IL)-assisted precursor route syntheses, characterizations, and the photocatalytic properties of six new M-In-Q (M=Cu or Cd; Q=Se or Se/S) chalcogenide compounds, namely [Bmmim]12 Cu5 In30 Q52 Cl3 (Im) (Q=Se (T5-1), Se48.5 S3.5 (T5-2); Bmmim=1-butyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium, Im=imidazole), [Bmmim]11 Cd6 In28 Q52 Cl3 (MIm) (Q=Se (T5-3), Se28.5 S23.5 (T5-4), Se16 S36 (T5-5); MIm=1-methylimidazole), and [Bmmim]9 Cd6 In28 Se8 S44 Cl(MIm)3 (T5-6). The cluster compounds T5-1 and T5-3 represent the largest molecular supertetrahedral Tn selenide clusters to date. Under visible-light illumination, the Cu-In-Q compounds showed photocatalytic activity towards the decomposition of crystal violet, whereas the Cd-In-Q compounds exhibited good photocatalytic H2 evolution activity. Interestingly, the experimental results show that the photocatalytic performances of the selenide/sulfide solid solutions were significantly better than those of their selenide analogues, for example, the degradation time of the organic dye with T5-2 was much shorter than that with T5-1, whereas the photocatalytic H2 evolution efficiencies with T5-3-T5-6 improved significantly with increasing sulfur content. This work highlights the significance of IL-assisted precursor route synthesis and the tuning of photocatalytic properties through the formation of solid solutions.

Abstract
Reported here are two novel metal chalcogenide superlattices built from unusual supertetrahedral TO2-InSnS clusters. With regard to only one previously reported case of a TO2-InS-based 2D-layered structure, such a combination of In-Sn-S components is thought to be reasonable for leading to the first observation of 3D superlattices based on TO2-InSnS clusters. Besides, these title semiconducting materials also display good performance on the electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction.

Abstract
Open framework metal chalcogenides are a family of porous semiconducting materials with diverse chemical compositions. Here we show that these materials containing covalent three-dimensional superlattices of nanosized supertetrahedral clusters can function as efficient photocatalysts for the reduction of CO2 to CH4. Unlike dense semiconductors, metal cations are successfully incorporated into the channels of the porous semiconducting materials to further tune the physical properties of the materials such as electrical conductivity and band gaps. In terms of the photocatalytic properties, the metal-incorporated porous chalcogenides demonstrated enhanced solar energy absorption and higher electrical conductivity and improved photocatalytic activity.

Abstract
Supertetrahedral clusters are the most common building blocks in constructing Group 13/14/16 microporous metal chalcogenide materials while other types of clusters are yet scarcely explored. Herein, a new crown-like building unit [In3Ge3S16] has been obtained. The units assemble into a 3D framework [C6H14NO]4[In6Ge3S17]·1.5H2O (1) via a dual-connection mode and a SrSi2 (srs)-type topology could be achieved by treating each unit as a tri-connected node.

Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of five new indium selenides, [C9H17N2]3[In5Se(8+x)(Se2)(1-x)] (1-2), [C6H12N2]4[C6H14N2]3[In10Se15(Se2)3] (3), [C6H14N2][(C6H12N2)2NaIn5Se9] (4) and [enH2][NH4][In7Se12] (5), are described. These materials were prepared under solvothermal conditions, using 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) as structure-directing agents. Compounds 1-4 represent the first examples of ribbons in indium selenides, and 4 is the first example of incorporation of an alkali metal complex. Compounds 1, 2 and 4 contain closely related [In5Se(8+x)(Se2)(1-x)](3-) ribbons which differ only in their content of (Se2)(2-) anions. These ribbons are interspaced by organic countercations in 1 and 2, while in 4 they are linked by highly unusual [Na(DABCO)2](+) units into a three-dimensional framework. Compound 3 contains complex ribbons, with a long repeating sequence of ca. 36 Å, and 4 is a non-centrosymmetric three-dimensional framework, formed as a consequence of the decomposition of DABCO into ethylenediamine (en) and ammonia.

Abstract
Supertetrahedral Tn clusters are exact fragments of a cubic ZnS type lattice. Thus far, Tn clusters up to T4 with 20 metal sites can be synthesized in a discrete molecular form. Yet, synthesis of larger discrete supertetrahedral clusters still remains a great challenge, likely due to the rapidly increasing negative charge on the cluster as the size goes up. By using organic superbases (DBN and DBU) to help stabilize the negative charge, a family of discrete supertetrahedral chalcogenide clusters with sizes spanning from T3 (10 metal sites) to T5 (35 metal sites) have been made. The T5 cluster represents the largest molecular supertetrahedral Tn cluster known to date.
