Surfactant 1-Hexadecyl-3-methylimidazolium Chloride Can Convert One-Dimensional Viologen Bromoplumbate into Zero-Dimensional
A zero-dimensional N,N'-dibutyl-4,4'-dipyridinium bromoplumbate, [BV](6)[Pb9Br30], with unusual discrete [Pb9Br30](12) anionic clusters was prepared via a facile surfactant-mediated solvothermal process. This bromoplumbate exhibits a narrower optical band gap relative to the congeneric one-dimensional viologen bromoplumbates.
