Structural design principles for hybrid cadmium thiocyanate-halides containing bulky organic cations
Abstract
ion, which allows them to act as a molecular scissor to break up the connectivity of the octahedral framework. The bandgaps of these compounds lie between 4.3 and 4.6 eV, with small variations depending mainly on the identity of the halide ion. The relatively narrow valence and conduction bands result from the inability of the bridging thiocyanate groups to facilitate strong electronic coupling between metal centers. However, the relatively large band gap of the inorganic framework may be attractive for incorporating optically active organic cations.
