Te–Se replacement induced structural transition and enhanced band gaps in Cd5Se4O12Cl2 and Cd5Se4O12Br2

Dalton Trans., 2026, Advance Article
DOI: 10.1039/D5DT03047A, Paper

Maqsood Iqbal, Jiazheng Zhou, Aqsa Munawar, Juanjuan Lu, Junjie Li
Two isostructural Cd₅Se₄O₁₂X₂ (X = Cl, Br) compounds were synthesized from Cd₅Te₄O₁₂X₂ (X = Cl, Br, I) by Te–Se substitution, resulting in a structural transition from the P2₁/c to C2/c space group and enhanced optical properties.
