摘要

We demonstrated here the first case of a vertex-edge connection mode in a three-dimensional open-framework chalcogenide built from the largest known T5 cluster. Such connection relies on a tricoordinated edge sulfur atom, which serves as the linkage to bridge two adjacent T5 clusters. The architecture of the resulting structure can be classified as the infinite order of super-supertetrahedral T5 clusters ( T5, infinity).
