This invention provides a tetrathiofulvalene tetrabenzaldehyde
Schiff base cage compound, the molecular formula of which is C2. 126 H 108 N 16 S 12 The molecular weight is 2231.08, and the unit
cell parameters are: a=17.0810(12)Å, b=19.3138(13)Å, c=22.0054(4)Å; α=104.811(2)°, β=101.466(2)°, γ=101.348(2)°, V=6639.3(8)Å. 3 The compound has a Z=2
crystal,
space group P-1, and belongs to the
triclinic crystal system. It exhibits a wide
ultraviolet transmission cutoff edge above 400 nm and a significant near-
infrared absorption rate. Near-
infrared photothermal conversion performance tests show that the
crystal can stably reach above 160°C in 40 seconds during 10 light-cooling cycles, demonstrating excellent
photothermal conversion performance. This
crystal is obtained through a liquid-
phase diffusion method, where it is allowed to diffuse freely by layering and allowing it to stand still. This method offers advantages such as simple operation, the use of common organic raw materials, a short
growth cycle, and stable physicochemical properties, making it suitable for various
photothermal conversion materials.
