Abstract

Cadmium tellurium cluster molecule [Cd10Te4(SC6H4Me-p)12] and bifunctioanal organic ligand 4,4′-trimethylenedipyridine (tmdp) are joined together through metal-ligand coordination bonds, forming a new inorganic-organic hybrid polymeric cluster {Cd10Te4(SC6H4Me-p)12(tmdp)2}n (1) with a unique two-dimensional super-structure. The room temperature absorption and the diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectra along with the photo-luminescence behavior were determined in the solid state. The thermal stability of the polymeric cluster was studied by thermal gravimetric analysis.
