Abstract

We present the first report of hexagonally ordered mesostructured ternary metal tin sulfide materials along with their structure and optical properties. The new mesophases designated as (CP)_xM_ySn₂S₆ (M = Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Ga³⁺) where synthesized by linking [Sn₂S₆]^4- clusters with metal ions in the presence of cetylpyridinium (CP) surfactant molecules in formamide solution under basic conditions. The materials are semiconductors in the energy range 2.5 < E_g < 3.1 eV. The mesostructured (CP)_xM_ySn₂S₆ show photoluminescence, when excited with light above the band gap.
