The development of metal chalcogenide non-supertetrahedral (non-Tn) cluster materials composed of metal In and Sn is very important for realizing the structural diversity of the materials and enriching their photoelectric applications. Herein, a series of new non-Tn cluster-based compounds C₇H₁₃N₂[InS₂] (1), (C₇H₁₃N₂)₄[In₂S₁₁Sn₃] (2), and (C₇H₁₃N₂)₃[In₃S₁₂Sn₃] (3) were prepared by the solvothermal method, where C₇H₁₃N₂=protonated 1, 5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene. The three compounds are formed by the combination of {SnS₄}, {InS₄}, or {InS₅} coordination units in the way of edge-sharing or vertex-sharing. The electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) study showed that the reduction peak potentials of compounds 1-3 were 0.6, 0.64, and 0.65 V, respectively, which indicates that compounds 2 and 3 containing Sn(Ⅳ) have better catalytic performance. More than that, the Koutecky-Levich plot analysis showed that the composition ratio of In and Sn in the compounds has a significant modulating effect on the ORR catalytic pathways.
