Abstract

Two quaternary copper thiostannates with lanthanum(III) complexes [enH]4[Ln(en)4]2[Cu6Sn6S20]·3en [Ln = Sm (1), Ho (2), en = ethylenediamine] were prepared by the reactions of Ln 2O3, CuO, Sn and S powder in ethylenediamine at 160 °C for 10 days. Both 1 and 2 contain heterometallic cluster [Cu6Sn6S20]10− built up from the linkage of one [Cu6S10] cluster and two bow-like trimeric [Sn3S10] unit, lanthanum(III) complex [Ln(en)4]3+ cations, protonated enH+ cations and free en molecules. Their absorption edges are 1.80 eV for 1 and 1.84 eV for 2, which exhibit properties of the semiconductor, and the theoretical band structure of 1 has also been studied.
