5 Claims

1. A metal organic chalcogenolate comprising:

silver phenylselenolate comprising a phenyl portion functionalized with at least one functional group;

wherein the at least one functional group is selected from the group consisting of:

methyl (CH₃),

dimethylamine (N(CH₃)₂),

thiomethyl (SCH₃),

fluoro (F), trifluoromethyl (CF₃),

carboxy (COOH),

cyanide (CN),

nitro (NO₂), and

alkoxy (OC_xH_y) having a linear configuration or a branched configuration,

where x is about 2 to about 30;

the metal organic chalcogenolate comprises a single crystal having at least one side with a dimension of about 5 μm to about 5 mm; and

a selenium ion of the silver phenylselenolate is bonded only to a single functional group.
