Surfactant-thermal method to prepare two novel two-dimensional Mn-Sb-S compounds for photocatalytic applications

Two novel 2D framework sulfides, [MnSb2S4(N2H4)2] (1) and [Mn(tepa)Sb6S10] (2) (tepa=tetraethylenepentamine), have been successfully synthesized under surfactant-thermal conditions and show active visible-light-driven photocatalytic properties for hydrogen production.286
