US Patent:

RE41427, Jul 13, 2010

Filed:

May 13, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/129759

Inventors:

Jing Li - Cranbury NJ, US
Xiaoying Huang - Highland Park NJ, US

Assignee:

Rutgers, The State University - New Brunswick NJ

International Classification:

H01L 31/00

US Classification:

257442, 257 40, 257642, 257 14, 257E29072, 257E29076, 438 99, 438102

Abstract:

Hybrid crystalline organic-inorganic quantum confined systems are disclosed, which contain alternating layers of a bifunctional organic ligand and a II-VI semiconducting chalcogenide, wherein the semiconducting chalcogenide layers contain chalcogenides have the formula MQ, in which M is independently selected from II-VI semiconductor cationic species and Q is independently selected from S, Se and Te; and the bifunctional organic ligands of each organic ligand layer are bonded by a first functional group to an element M of an adjacent II-VI semiconducting chalcogenide layer and by a second functional group to an element M from the adjacent opposing II-VI semiconducting chalcogenide layer, so that the adjacent opposing II-VI semiconducting chalcogenide layers are linked by the bifunctional organic ligands of the organic ligand layers. Optical absorption experiments show that these systems produce a significant blue shift in their optical absorption edges, 1. 2-1. 5 eV, compared to a shift of 1.

Optical absorption experiments show that these systems produce a significant blue shift in their optical absorption edges, 1.2-1.5 eV, compared to a shift of 1.0 electron volt by the best grown II-VI or II-V semiconducting quantum colloidal dots. In addition, the II-VI confined layers in these systems possess a perfectly periodic arrangement.

Abstract:

The present invention describes three-dimensional porous coordination compounds, a method of making the compounds, and a method of using the compounds to contain reactants in a reaction, said compounds characterized by a plurality of sheets comprising a two-dimensional array of repeating structural units comprising at least one transition metal, one polyfunctional ligand and one exodentate ligand wherein: (1) at least one binding member of each said polyfunctional ligand is coordinated to transition metal atoms in two different repeating structural units within one sheet; (2) said binding sites of each exodentate bridging ligand are coordinated to transition metal atoms in a each of two adjacent sheets, and (3) the ligands of the three-dimensional polymeric compound define channels and pores of molecular size throughout the structure of the compound.
