Abstract
The research into adamantane-type compounds has gained momentum in recent years, yielding remarkable new applications for this class of materials. In particular, organic adamantane derivatives (AdR4) or inorganic adamantane-type compounds of the general formula [(RT)4E6] (R: organic substituent; T: group 14 atom C, Si, Ge, Sn; E: chalcogenide atom S, Se, Te, or CH2) were shown to exhibit strong nonlinear optical (NLO) properties, either second-harmonic generation (SHG) or an unprecedented type of highly-directed white-light generation (WLG) - depending on their respective crystalline or amorphous nature. The (missing) crystallinity, as well as the maximum wavelengths of the optical transitions, are controlled by the clusters' elemental composition and by the nature of the organic groups R. Very recently, it has been additionally shown that cluster cores with increased inhomogeneity, like the one in compounds [RSi{CH2Sn(E)R'}3], not only affect the chemical properties, such as increased robustness and reversible melting behaviour, but that such 'cluster glasses' form a conceptually new basis for their use in light conversion devices. These findings are likely only the tip of the iceberg, as beside elemental combinations including group 14 and group 16 elements, many more adamantane-type clusters (on the one hand) and related architectures representing extensions of adamantane-type clusters (on the other hand) are known, but have not yet been addressed in terms of their opto-electronic properties. In this review, we therefore present a survey of all known classes of adanmantane-type compounds and their respective synthetic access as well as their optical properties, if reported.

Abstract
Supertetrahedral chalcogenido (semi)metalate clusters have been in the focus of inorganic and materials chemistry for many years owing to a variety of outstanding physical and chemical properties. However, a critical drawback in the canon of studying corresponding compounds has been the lack of control in assembling the supertetrahedral units, which have been known as either highly charged monomeric cluster anions or lower charged, yet extended anionic substructures of linked clusters. The latter is the reason for the predominance of applications of such materials in heterogeneous environment, or their solubilization by organic shielding, which in turn was unfavorable regarding the optical properties. Recently, we reported a partial alkylation of such clusters, which allowed for a significantly enhanced solubility at a marginal impact on the optical gap. Herein we showcase the formation of finite cluster oligomers of supertetrahedral architectures by ionothermal syntheses. We were successful in generating the unprecedented dimers and tetramers of the [Ge4Se10]4- anion in salts with imidazolium-based ionic liquid counterions. The oligomers exhibit lower average negative charges and thus reduced electrostatic interactions between anionic clusters and cationic counterions. As a consequence, the salts readily dissolve in common solvents like DMF. Besides, the tetrameric [Ge16Se36]8- anion represents the largest discrete chalcogenide cluster of a group 14 element. We prove that undestroyed cluster oligomers can be transferred into solution by means of electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry and provide a full set of characteristics of the compounds including crystal structures and optical properties.

Abstract
Rational synthesis of inorganic matter remains a great challenge encountered with modern synthetic chemistry. Here we reported the stepwise solvothermal conversion from GeO2 to [MGe4S10]n3n- (M = Cu, Ag) polymer via isolatable [Ge2S6]4- and [Ge4S10]4- anions by virtue of templating technique. The facile sulfuration of GeO2 resulted in the methylammonium-templated dimeric thiogermanate [CH3NH3]4Ge2S6 (1). This was used subsequently as a precursor for the formation of adamantane-like [Ge4S10]4- cluster, which was isolated as a mixed methylammonium/ethylammonium salt [CH3CH2NH3]3[CH3NH3]Ge4S10 (2). Compound 2 was then successfully used as a precursor to react with Cu+ and Ag+ cations in the presence of tetraethylammonium, resulting in alternating copolymeric products [(CH3CH2)4N]3MGe4S10 (M = Cu (3), Ag (4)), whose anionic moieties feature a novel zigzag chainlike structure constructed by [Ge4S10]4- clusters via two-coordinate Cu+/Ag+ linkers. Mixed amine/ethanol or deep eutectic solvents were applied as media for the syntheses of 1-4, and all the products were characterized in the solid state and solution. Crystal structural analysis of the title compounds revealed significant templating roles of the alkylammonium cations as both space-filling agents and hydrogen-bonding donors, suggesting the structure-directing mechanism for the species formation and crystal growth. The design and optimization of multistep structural conversion upon templating effects would be beneficial for drawing rational, predictable pathways for inorganic synthesis.
