The novel iron selenidostannates [Fe(bipy)3]Sn4Se9·2H2O (1) and [Fe(bipy)3]2[Sn3Se7]2·bipy·2H2O (2) (bipy = bipyridine) were prepared by the reactions of Sn, Se, FeCl2·4H2O, bipy, and dien with/without KSCN under hydrothermal conditions (dien = diethylenetriamine). In 1, four SnSe5 units condense via edge sharing to form the novel 3-D framework selenidostannate ∞³[Sn4Se92-] containing an interpenetrating channel system. The [Fe(bipy)3]2+ cations are accommodated in the different channels according to the conformation of the [Fe(bipy)3]2+ cation. In 2, three SnSe5 units share edges to form a 2-D ∞²[Sn3Se72-] layered anion, while two SnSe5 units and one SnSe4 unit are connected via edge sharing, forming a 1-D ∞¹[Sn3Se72-] chainlike anion. The ∞¹[Sn3Se72-], [Fe(bipy)3]2+, bipy, and H2O species are embedded between the ∞²[Sn3Se72-] layers. 2 is the first example of a selenidostannate constructed by both ∞²[Sn3Se72-]and ∞¹[Sn3Se72-] anions. The coexistence of 1-D ∞¹[Sn3Se72-] and 2-D ∞²[Sn3Se72-] anions in 2 might support the possible reaction mechanism that the ∞²[Sn3Se72-] anions are formed by condensation of the ∞¹[Sn3Se72-] chains. 1 and 2 exhibit band gaps at 1.43 and 2.01 eV, respectively [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
