Abstract
The present study reports the synthesis, crystal structure, and electronic properties of the lead–oxide–iodide–carbodiimde Pb8O4I6(CN2). The n-type semiconducting compound was obtained via ceramic method from PbI2, PbO and Pb(CN2), yielding an air stable, dark yellow crystalline material. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed the monoclinic space group C2/c featuring a heterocubane-type [Pb4O4] motif interconnected by iodide bridges and (NCN)2− units. The optical properties were characterized by diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectroscopy, Mott–Schottky analysis, and photoluminescence spectroscopy, providing insights into the electronic structure.
