Abstract
Two novel two-dimensional crystalline chalcogenidoantimonates, [MnSb2S4(N2H4)2] (1) and [Mn(tepa)Sb6S10] (2) (tepa=tetraethylenepentamine), have been successfully synthesized under surfactant-thermal conditions through using PEG-400 and sodium dodecyl sulfate as reaction media, respectively. In compound 1, [MnS2N4]n2n- species connect [SbS2]nn- chains via vertex-sharing S atoms to form neutral layered frameworks, while in compound 2, 8-membered windows [Sb4S8]n4n-, 24-membered windows [Sb12S24]n12n- and Mn atoms are connected together to form neutral 2D-[MnSb6S10] layers. All Sb atoms in both complexes form [Sbshah Cyrillic signS3]3-trigonal-pyramid by coordinating with three S atoms. The steep UV-vis absorption edges indicate that 1 and 2 have the band gaps of 1.96 eV and 2.12 eV, respectively. Both compound 1 and 2 show active visible-light-driven photocatalytic properties for hydrogen production.
