Abstract:
Reported here is a new metal chalcogenide semiconductor with the double-interpenetrated zeolitic nabesite framework, which is constructed by the rare extended spiro-5 units with supertetrahedral clusters serving as building units. Different from the TO4-based simple spiro-5 unit frequently observed in oxide-based zeolites, the extended spiro-5 unit composed of five supertetrahedral T3-InSnS clusters is for the first time observed in the family of open-framework metal chalcogenides. Such secondary building units finally assemble into a rare NAB topological framework with large external space. In addition, the title semiconductor material also displays good properties in photocurrent response and electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction.

z Scores and Unusual Values
This score indicates how far a value is from the mean in terms of standard deviation. For example, if a data value has a z score of +1, the researcher can infer that the particular data value is one standard deviation above the mean. If another data...
