Chelation-Driven Dissolution and Single-Crystal Growth of Hybrid Metal Organochalcogenide Semiconductors by Polydentate Amines.

ABSTRACT: The ability to grow single crystals is critical to modern society, particularly forming the foundation of the semiconductor industry that drives transformative innovations. While inorganic semiconductors are typically grown using melt-based methods, and organic semiconductors via solution processing, these approaches are often unsuitable for hybrid organic-inorganic semiconductors, which tend to exhibit low thermal stability and high solvent resistance. Here, we report a general solution-based strategy to overcome this challenge by exploiting polydentate amine solvents to dissolve and recrystallize previously intractable metal organochalcogenides (MOCs)─an emerging family of hybrid semiconductors, with potentials for robust luminescence, strong exciton binding energy, and electronic anisot
