The process of replacing a vertex in a network by a group of vertexesstermed decorationshas been recognized as an important strategy for designing low-density (porous) metal-organic frameworks. 1 We and others have recently employed this strategy in the synthesis of inorganic frameworks based on TX4 (T1) tetrahedra by using Tn supertetrahedral clusters in which n tetrahedra are linked along each edge as illustrated in Figure 1. 2, 3 Ge4S10 4-(T2) and In10S20 10-and B10S20 10-(T3) supertetrahedra have been linked into the cristobalite framework of SiO2 (Si atoms on a diamond network), in which SiO4 tetrahedra are replaced by T2 or T3 clusters to produce large-pore structures. However, structures with larger Tn supertetrahedral units remain unknown, 4 although they have the potential of creating novel low-density nanoporous crystalline solids as well as yielding ordered and regular arrays of clusters that are comparable in size to individual nanocrystallites of tetrahedral quantum dots of CdS and other group 12 chalcogenides. 4, 5 Here we report the preparation of T4 clusters of 20 Å dimension6 in a Cd4In16S33 10-cristobalite framework, and discuss the essential role Cd2+ plays in facilitating the realization of such structures.Yellow octahedral crystals of Cd4In16S33 ‚(H2O) 20 (C10H28N4) 2.5 (hereafter CdInS-44) were prepared by reacting a water (1.0 mL) and ethylene glycol (0.5 mL) solution mixture of In (65.0 mg, 0.57 mmol), S (45.0 mg, 1.40 mmol), Cd (CH3CO2) 2 ‚2H2O (40.0 mg, 0.15 mmol), and 1, 4-bis (3-aminopropyl) piperazine (BAPP)
