A Wheel-Shaped Indium–Telluride Nanocluster [In₁₈Te₃₀(dach)₆]^6–: Its Formation and Structure

The preparation and crystal structure of a large wheel-shaped indium–telluride compound are reported. The inorganic cluster is decorated with 1,2-diaminocyclohexane molecules that play an important role in the formation of the nanoring. A related new 1D polymeric InTe compound is also presented in order to understand the effect of acidity on the formation of the ring structure.本工作报道了一种大型轮状铟碲化物（indium–telluride）化合物的制备方法与晶体结构。该无机团簇经1,2-环己二胺（1,2-diaminocyclohexane）分子修饰，此类分子在该纳米环的形成过程中发挥了重要作用。为探究酸度对该轮状结构形成的影响，本工作同时报道了一种相关的新型一维聚合型碲化铟（InTe）化合物。
