Halide enhancement of the luminescence of Cd₁₀S₄ thiolate clusters

Abstract

New halide-substituted cluster anions [Cd₁₀S₄X₄(SR)₁₂]^4– (R=Ph, X = I, 2a; R = p-MeC₆H₄, X = I, 3a or Br, 3b) of the [Cd₁₀S₄(SR)₁₆]^4– family have been prepared and characterized; investigations of their luminescence show that the introduction of the halide groups produces red shifts and significant enhancements in their emission intensities.
