Abstract
By using a photosensitizer [Ru(bpy)3]2+ as a template, a rare example of a three-dimensional Sn–Se type anionic framework, formulated as {Ru(bpy)3@[Sn4Se9]}n1 (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine), has been synthesized, and shows evident photocurrent response in the visible light region and related semiconducting behavior.
