Gallium-sulfide supertetrahedral clusters as building blocks of covalent organic-inorganic networks
The synthesis and characterization of novel covalent organic-inorganic architectures containing organically functionalized supertetrahedra is described. The structures of these unique materials consist of one-dimensional zigzag chains or of honeycomb-type layers, in which gallium-sulfide supertetrahedral clusters and dipyridyl ligands alternate.
