Synthesis and Photoelectric Properties of Metal-Organic Zeolites Built from TO4 and Organotin.

Herein we report a novel strategy capable of generating a new class of metal-organic zeolite (MOZ) materials. When the MoO4 or WO4 tetrahedra are employed to assemble with triorganotin R3Sn fragments, four 3D networks with the zeolite BCT topology and nonzeotype 4-connected topological net (such as lon and dia) have been generated. The photocurrent study results show that these materials have good photoelectric response and high photophysical stability.
