Bismuth Cluster-Based Materials
Bi-based nanostructures provide us with extraordinary chances of addressing chemical and physical ways of energy conversion, catalysis and optical devices as environmentally benign and stable smart materials. However, methods used so far to manufacture nanostructured Bi-based materials are heavily restricted with regard to the control of molecular structures and atomic compositions of the targeted compounds. Herein, we present an innovative chemical methodology of creating Bi-based materials from atom-precise molecular (0D) clusters. Based on our preliminary results, a vast amount of structural motifs and elemental compositions of anionic Bi clusters are possible. We will identify and…
