The research results were published in《Dalton Transactions》 in 2022.Synthetic Route of ClRb The article conveys some information:
Mixed-anionic compounds have caught considerable attention due to their flexible coordination manners and abundant phys. properties. Four new chalcohalides RbIn4S6Cl (1), CsIn4S6Cl (2), Pb5Sn3S10Cl2 (3) and Pb5Sn3Se10Cl2 (4) were successfully obtained by the high-temperature halide salt flux method. Compounds 1 and 2 have layered structures that consist of octahedral InS6 and aliovalent-anionic InS3Cl units. Compounds 3 and 4 feature 3-D structural frameworks built by [Pb4SnQ8Cl4]6- and [PbSn2Q6]2- (Q = S and Se) polyhedral chains, in which partial Pb2+ cations are coordinated by Q2- and Cl– anions. Compounds 1–4 have optical band gaps close to the wavelength range of visible light and exhibit significant photocurrent responses of 28.75 nA cm-2, 55.12 nA cm-2, 19.58 mA cm-2, and 36.12μA cm-2 with on/off ratios 30.0, 2.5, 15.7 and 2.6, resp., implying their potential for photovoltaic applications. To the best of our knowledge, compound 3 has the largest photocurrent response among all non-oxides. In addition, the activation energies of 1–4 are well below 0.3 eV, which makes these compounds interesting for potential applications in electrochem. devices. This work sheds light on the exploration of promising photocurrent response materials in the mixed-anionic compound system. The experimental procedure involved many compounds, such as Rubidiumchloride (cas: 7791-11-9) .
Rubidium chloride(cas: 7791-11-9) is the mostly used rubidium compound, and finds use in various fields ranging from electrochemistry to molecular biology.Synthetic Route of ClRb It is an efficient non-invasive biomarker; increases dopamine and norepinephrine levels, and useful for anergic and apathetic depressives.
