Abstract

Open-framework sulfides (H₃O)KCu₆Ge₂S₈ (1) and (H₃O)RbCu₆Ge₂S₈ (2) were prepared by a cotemplating strategy. This shows that alkali-metal and protonated water cations act as cotemplates to direct the three-dimensional open-framework sulfides. These templates direct two types of one-dimensional channels that arrange parallelly, and different types of templates reside in different types of channels. By introduction of the Cs cation into the synthetic systems of 1 and 2, (H₃O)K_0.6Cs_0.4Cu₆Ge₂S₈ (3) and (H₃O)Rb_0.75Cs_0.25Cu₆Ge₂S₈ (4) were obtained. Compound 3 has a different anionic framework from those of 1 and 2, while 4 is isostructural with 1 and 2.
