Abstract
- Abstract: In our investigation of non-centrosymmetric rare earth sulfides in the La3AgSnS7/KBr, LaAlGeS5/NaBr, HoAlGeS5/KBr, ErAlGeS5/NaBr, Er3AgGeS7/KBr and La3NaSnS7/NaBr systems, five compounds belonging to the R6B2C2Q14 family have been obtained. These compounds crystallize in the P63 space group, and the crystal data are as follows—La3AgSnS7: a =10.3780(15)Å, c =5.9900(12)Å, Z =2; La3Ge0.25GeS7: a =10.2970(15)Å, c =5.8120(12)Å, Z =2; Ho3Ge0.272(10)GeS7: a =9.6480(14)Å, c =5.7920(12)Å, Z =2; Er3Ge0.330(10)GeS7: a =9.5930(14)Å, c =5.8490(12)Å, Z =2; La3Sn0.25SnS7: a =10.2770(15)Å, c =6.0030(12)Å, Z =2. Single-crystal analysis indicated that the crystal structures consist of three types of building block: LnS n , MS4, and AgS3 (for La3AgSnS7) or MS6 units (for Ln3M x MS7, Ln=La, Ho, Er; M=Ge, Sn; 1/4≤ x ≤1/2), as any other compounds belonging to the R6B2C2Q14 family. Ln3M x MS7 (Ln=La, Ho, Er; M=Ge, Sn; 1/4≤ x ≤1/2) are deficient compounds with the B sites occupied partly by M(II), and/or M(IV). [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
