Large cadmium chalcogenido clusters C2 (Cd-32) and Cl (Cd-17) CdQ (Q = S, Se) with photoactive dye cations [Ru(Phen/Bpy)(3)](2+) are prepared under solvothermal conditions (Phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, Bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine). All the C2 compounds are 3-D polymeric structures, while the Cl compounds are discrete Cd17 clusters. Two of the 3-D C2 clusters can be considered as homosized nano CdSe@CdS core shell particles (2.0 nm radius) with Cd4Se10 core. Charge-transfer interaction is found between [Ru(Phen/Bpy)(3)](2+) cations and CdQ cluster anions. The photocurrent behaviors indicate that (1) the current intensities are greatly increased for the dye cation functionalized Cn clusters, (2) the current intensities of the 3-D C2 clusters are larger than those of the discrete Cl clusters, and (3) the current intensities of the selenide clusters are larger than those of the sulfide clusters.
