Surfactant Templated Assembly of Hexagonal Mesostructured Semiconductors Based on Ge4Q104- (Q=S, Se) and Pd2+ and Pt2+ Ions
Abstract
Mesostructured semiconducting non-oxidic materials were prepared by linking Ge4Q10(4-)(Q=S, Se) clusters with the square planar noble metal cations of Pd(2+) and Pt(2+) in the presence of cetylpyridinium surfactant molecules. The use of Pt(2+) afforded materials with exceptionally high hexagonal pore order similar to those of high quality silica MCM-41. These materials are semiconductors with energy band gap in the range 1.8 < E(sub g) < 2.5 eV.
