Stabilization by a divalent transition metal in lead indium quaternary selenide, Fe(0.47)Pb(8.04)In(17.37)Se(34), and specific indium coordination.

Single crystals of the first M-Pb-In-Se quaternary selenide, Fe(0.47)Pb(8.04)In(17.37)Se34, with the structure stabilized by a divalent transition metal (M = Fe), have been grown by a solid-state reaction. The Fe(II) ions partially occupy at the In sites with various Fe/In ratios. Thus, a new crystal structure is evolved by partially occupied minor Fe atoms at In sites. A part of the In atoms shows remarkably distorted octahedral coordination. This compound shows relatively high conductivity (approximately 40 S/m at 300 K) with a narrow-band-gap-type semiconducting property (Ea = 0.078 eV).

Heavy-metal-ion capture, ion-exchange, and exceptional acid stability of the open-framework chalcogenide (NH(4))(4)In(12)Se(20).

The hydrothermal synthesis of the purely inorganic open-framework indium selenide (NH(4))(4)In(12)Se(20) (1) is reported. Compound 1 exhibits a unique three-dimensional open-framework structure. The framework of 1 shows an unusual, for a chalcogenide compound, rigidity arising from the unprecedented connection mode of its building blocks. Compound 1 possesses ion exchange capacity for Cs(+), Rb(+), NH(4) (+), but it has selectivity against Na(+) and Li(+). It also showed exceptional stability in relatively concentrated hydrochloric acid. Ion exchange of 1 with hydrochloric water solutions can produce its solid acid analogue H(2)(NH(4))(2)In(12)Se(20). The maximum cation-exchange capacity of 1 was found equal to two equivalents per mol, which is consistent with an exchange mechanism taking place in the 1D-channels formed by the largest cavities. In addition, 1 can do ion-exchange with heavy-metal ions like Hg(2+), Pb(2+), and Ag(+). The capacity of 1 to clean water solutions from heavy-metal ions was preliminarily investigated and found very high. Specifically, 1 can remove 99.9 % of Hg(2+), 99.8 % of Ag(+), and 94.9 % of Pb(2+) from aqueous solutions of each of these ions. Using different synthetic conditions, we isolated compound (NH(4))(2)In(12)Se(19) (2), which also has as good an acid stability as 1, but no ion-exchange properties. Overall, this work provides new hydrothermal synthetic approaches for isolation of all-inorganic open-framework chalcogenides.

Size series of small indium arsenide-zinc selenide core-shell nanocrystals and their application to in vivo imaging.

We have developed a size series of unusually small, water-soluble (InAs)ZnSe (core)shell quantum dots (QDs) that emit in the near-infrared and exhibit new behavior in vivo, including multiple sequential lymph node mapping and extravasation from the vasculature. The biological utility of these fluorescent probes resulted from our intentional choice to match the semiconductor material and water-soluble ligand with a desired final hydrodynamic diameter and emission wavelength.

Interface Excitons in van der Waals Sandwich Heterostructures.

Exciton engineering in van der Waals heterostructures (vdWHs) is essential for next-generation optoelectronics, yet they normally require near-perfect stacking and are highly sensitive to moiré potentials. Here, we demonstrate a polarity-engineering strategy using a γ-InSe/transition metal dichalcogenide/γ-InSe sandwich heterostructure. The out-of-plane spontaneous polarization of γ-InSe intrinsically breaks interfacial inversion symmetry, giving rise to interface excitons (IFXs) that exhibit a linear Stark effect with an ultrasmall dipole moment of 0.15 e·nm. First-principles calculations and Kelvin probe force microscopy reveal asymmetric interfacial charge transfer governed by γ-InSe's polarity. Transient spectroscopy shows nonmonotonic relaxation dynamics, including a characteristic signal reversal that indicates pre-existing interfacial charge states. Our results establish that exciton dipole moments, interlayer coupling, and relaxation dynamics can be precisely tuned through material polarity and thickness. Polarity engineering thus provides a versatile and robust route to control excitonic properties in vdWHs, offering expanded design strategies for advanced excitonic and optoelectronic devices.

Indium(I) iodide-promoted cleavage of diaryl diselenides and disulfides and subsequent condensation with alkyl or acyl halides. One-pot efficient synthesis of diorganyl selenides, sulfides, selenoesters, and thioesters.

Diphenyl diselenides and disulfides undergo facile cleavages by indium(I) iodide and the corresponding generated selenate and thiolate anions condense in situ with alkyl or acyl halides present in the reaction mixture. Thus, a simple, efficient, and general procedure has been developed for the synthesis of unsymmetrical diorganyl selenides, sulfides (thioethers), selenoesters, and thioesters by this one-pot reaction at room temperature.

Indium(I) iodide promoted cleavage of diphenyl diselenide and disulfide and subsequent palladium(0)-catalyzed condensation with vinylic bromides. A simple one-pot synthesis of vinylic selenides and sulfides.

[reaction: see text] Diphenyl diselenide (and disulfide) undergo facile reaction with indium(I) iodide and the corresponding intermediate complex condenses in situ with a variety of substituted vinyl bromides in the presence of a catalytic amount of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) [Pd(PPh3)4] in THF at room temperature to produce vinylic selenides and sulfides in good yields. The conversion of (E)-vinyl bromides is remarkably stereoselective giving (E)-vinyl selenides (and sulpfides) whereas the stereoselectivity in reaction of (Z)-vinyl bromides is not very good.

Unconventional zigzag indium phosphide single-crystalline and twinned nanowires.

Unconventional zigzag indium phosphide (InP) single-crystalline and twinned nanowires were produced via thermal evaporation of indium phosphide in the presence of zinc selenide. The structure and morphology of the as-synthesized products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Studies found that two type of nanowires exist in the products, namely, the periodic-rhombus-decorated single-crystalline InP (type I) nanowires and jagged twinned InP (type II) nanowires. Both of them have preferential 111 growth directions. The optical properties were also investigated at room temperature, and they show that the nanowires display a strong emission at approximately 750 nm, which is quite different from that observed in all previous reports related to the InP nanostructures.

Pyridineselenolate Complexes of Copper and Indium: Precursors to CuSe(x)() and In(2)Se(3).

The pyridineselenolate (2-Se-NC(5)H(4), (SePy)) and the 3-(trimethylsilyl)pyridineselenolate (3-Me(3)Si-2-Se-NC(5)H(4) (SePy)) ligands form air-stable homoleptic coordination compounds of Cu(I) { [Cu(SePy)](4) (1) and [Cu(SePy)](4) (2)} and In(III) {In(SePy)(3) (3) and In(SePy)(3) (4)}. Mass spectroscopic characterization of the Cu(I) compounds indicated a tetrametallic core, and this was confirmed with a single-crystal X-ray structural characterization of crystalline 1 and 2, which both contain a tetrametallic cluster of Cu(I) ions bound to two doubly bridging Se atoms and a pyridine nitrogen. The Cu coordination sphere is completed with two strong Cu-Cu bonds and one weaker Cu-Cu interaction. The indium compounds 3 and 4 are each distorted fac-octahedral molecules with chelating SePy ligands. These compounds are useful low-temperature precursors to the binary selenides. Both 3 and 4 sublime intact; 3 thermally decomposes to give In(2)Se(3). The Cu clusters do not sublime intact but still decompose to give metal selenide phases: 2 decomposes to give pure alpha-CuSe at low temperatures and increasing amounts of Cu(2)(-)(x)()Se at elevated temperatures, while 3 decomposes to give a mixture of CuSe phases at all temperatures. Crystal data (Mo Kalpha: 1, 153(5) K; 2-4, 293(2) K) are as follows: 1, monoclinic space group C2/c, a = 20.643(5) Å, b = 16.967(2) Å, c = 16.025(2) Å, beta = 114.16(2) degrees, Z = 8; 2, tetragonal space group I4(1)/a, a = 14.756(3) Å, c = 19.925(3) Å, Z = 4; 3, trigonal space group P&thremacr;c1, a = 13.352(2) Å, c = 13.526(2) Å, Z = 4; 4, monoclinic space group P2(1)/c, a = 9.793(1) Å, b = 20.828(6) Å, c = 16.505(1) Å, beta = 96.69(1) degrees, Z = 4.
