Abstract

The use of reagents containing bonds between group 14 elements and Se or Te for the self-assembly of polynuclear metal-chalcogen compounds is covered. Background material is briefly reviewed and examples from the literature are highlighted from the period 2007-2017. Emphasis is placed on the different classes of 14-16 precursors and their application in the targeted synthesis of metal-chalcogen compounds. The unique properties arising from the combination of specific 14-16 precursors, metal atoms, and ancillary ligands are also described. Selected examples are chosen to underline the progress in (i) controlled synthesis of heterometallic (ternary) chalcogen clusters, (ii) chalcogen clusters with organic functionalized surfaces, and (iii) crystalline open-framework metal chalcogenides.
