Abstract

A solid-state material comprising a solid-state compound is provided. The solid-state compound has the formula: [Cluster1][Cluster2]n, where Cluster1 can be a metal chalcogenide molecular cluster, Cluster2 a carbon cluster, and n the number of Cluster2 clusters in the solid-state compound. A method of forming a solid-state material is also provided.
