By using S-(2-aminoethyl)isothiouronium (ETU) as the templating cation, five new metal iodide hybrids, (ETU)GeI4, (ETU)4Ge5I18, (ETU)PbI4 and (ETU)3Pb2I10 are reported with varied C–S–C angles in the organic cation. |

10 Facts about me
| I am most passionate about my work in discovering new materials. Solving a new crystal structure is the highlight of the day.
My passion besides work is enjoying great food with my friends. I love skiing, but I have been stuck for two years without skiing due to COVID19. One of my hidden talents is sketching. I find it very relaxing. One thing I cannot live without is music. I play music all the time when I’m driving or in the office. Great papers depend not only on good results, but also on great writing. The writing reflects your thought process and whether you can deliver the essence. A recent epiphany: work does not define who you are. Work is work. I advise my students to take charge of their lives, have fun and do good science. The most important quality of a mentor is to take a back seat when needed, and always be there for your mentees. I have a cat named Schrödinger. He is an one-year-old blue/white British shorthair. |
