A one-dimensional germanium sulfide polymer akin to the ionosilicates: synthesis and structural characterization of DPA-GS-8, Ge4S9(C3H7)2NH2(C3H7)NH2(C2H5)

Abstract

Ge₄S₉(C₃H₇)₂NH₂(C₃H₇)NH₂(C₂H₅) consists of chains of corner-linked adamantane units with a composition of [Ge₄S₉]^2– which are separated by two dipropylammonium (DPA) cations; the first reported chain-like structure of [Ge₄S₉]^2–.
