Abstract

One novel 1-D europium thioindate-thioantimonate {[Eu(tepa)](2)[μ(2)-SbS(3)](μ(2)-H(2)O)}[Eu(tepa)In(4)S(9)]·0.25tepa (1, tepa = tetraethylenepentamine) has been solvothermally synthesized. 1 represents the first example of the coordination of a soft Lewis basic 1-D polymeric [In(4)S(9)(6-)](n) ligand to a hard Lewis acidic Eu(3+) ion. The wide-band-gap semiconductor and photoluminescence properties of 1 have been investigated.
