Abstract

A new thiogermanate-thioantimonate, namely, [AEPH2][GeSb 2S6]·CH3OH (1) (AEP = N-(2-aminoethyl)piperazine) has been solvothermally synthesized, whose structure features a one-dimensional anionic ribbon of [GeSb2S 6]n2n- built of the firstly observed tetranuclear {GeSb3S11} cluster as secondary building unit. The photocatalytic study indicated that 1 was able to degrade Rhodamine B under visible irradiation.
