[(Me)2NH2][BiGeS4]: the first organically directed bismuth thiogermanate with Rb+ ion exchange property†
Abstract
The first organically directed bismuth thiogermanate, namely [(Me)2NH2][BiGeS4] (1), has been solvothermally synthesized and characterized. The structure features a two-dimensional anionic network of [BiGeS4]nn−, with dimethylammonium as a counterion and a structure-directing agent. 1 is able to undergo ion exchange with Rb+ ions.
