Abstract

A zero-dimensional N,N'-dibutyl-4,4'-dipyridinium bromoplumbate, [BV]₆[Pb₉Br₃₀], with unusual discrete [Pb₉Br₃₀]^12- anionic clusters was prepared via a facile surfactant-mediated solvothermal process. This bromoplumbate exhibits a narrower optical band gap relative to the congeneric one-dimensional viologen bromoplumbates.
