The as-synthesized CTriMATT was characterized by Elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), Ultraviolet visible (UV-Vis) spectra. The results showed that the as-synthesized CTriMATT had high purity and good crystallinity. The introduction of alkyl groups induced a shift of the stretching vibration band of W-S bond to lower wavenumber, while it had no influence on the position of WS4^2-. Thermogravimetric analysis (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and in situ XRD characterizations revealed that CTriMATT began to decompose at 423 K in nitrogen and was converted to WS2 eventually. In addition, the decomposition product of CTriMATT at 673 K in nitrogen was characterized by N2 adsorption (BET) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
