A Three-Dimensional Framework with Accessible Nanopores: RbCuSb2Se4⋅H2O

Abstract

Semiconductor properties are exhibited by the hydrothermally synthesized title compound, whose channels are occupied by Rb⁺ ions and water molecules. In topotactic reactions the exchange of the Rb⁺ ions for smaller alkali metal ions demonstrates the high mobility of the cations and may determine other interesting properties.
