QUASI-ONE-DIMENSIONAL POLYMERS BASED ON THE METAL-CHALCOGEN-HALOGEN SYSTEM

摘要

The present Invention relates a quasi-one-dimensional material with sub-micr on cross-section described by the formula M6CyHz, where the M = transition meta l, C = chalcogen, H = halogen, and where y and z are integers such that 8.2<y+z<10, which materials are synthesized in a Single-step procedure at temperatures above 1000 ~C. The present invention also concerns the use of these materials in electronic, chemical, optical or mechanical applications.
