Cu3SbSe3: Synthese und Kristallstruktur

The Crystal Structure of Cu₃SbSe₃ The hitherto unknown crystal structure of Cu₃SbSe₃ has been determined from single crystals. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Pnma (No. 62), with a = 7.9865(8), b = 10.6138(9) and c = 6.8372(7) Å, V = 579.6(1) ų, Z = 4.

In contrast to Cu₃SbS₃ in the temperature range from ?180 to 25°C no hints for a phase transition could be detected by means of X-ray- and thermoanalytical methods.

The new quaternary compounds Cs₂AgVS₄, K₂AgVSe₄, Rb₂AgVSe₄, Rb₂AgNbS₄, and Cs₂AgNbSe₄ were prepared using the reactive flux method. In this structure type infinite chains of edge-sharing AgQ₄- and M^VQ₄-tetrahedra are running parallel to the crystallographic a-axis. The chains are separated by alkali cations.

Temperature Influence on the Formation of Selenidoantimonates: Solvothermal Syntheses,Crystal Structures and Thermal Properties of [Ni(dien)2]2Sb2Se6, [Mn(dien)2]2(SbSe4)(Cl), [Co(dien)2]2(SbSe4)(Br), and [Co(dien)2]3(SbSe4)2

New selenidoantimonats [Ni(dien)₂]₂Sb₂Se₆ ( 1 ), [Mn(dien)₂]₂(SbSe₄)(Cl) ( 2 ), [Co(dien)₂]₂(SbSe₄)(Br) ( 3 ), and [Co(dien)₂]₃(SbSe₄)₂ ( 4 ) (dien = diethylenetriamine) were solvothermally synthesized in dien solvent at 180 °C. The crystal structure of 1 consists of two octahedral [Ni(dien)₂]²⁺ cations and a mixed‐valent [Sb₂Se₆]^4? anion. The isolated [Sb₂Se₆]^4? anion is formed by a Sb^IIISe₃ trigonal pyramid and a Sb^VSe₄ tetrahedron sharing a common corner. 2 and 3 are composed of octahedral [M(dien)₂]²⁺ cations, tetrahedral [SbSe₄]^3? anions and halide ions forming an extended network through hydrogen‐bonding interactions. In 4 the [Co(1)(dien)₂]²⁺, [Co(2)(dien)₂]²⁺ and [SbSe₄]^3? ions form layered structures via N–H···Se hydrogen bonds. The [Co(3)(dien)₂]²⁺ ion is located between the layers, and interacts with the layers by N–H···Se bonds. The synthesis and solid state structural studies on the title compounds show that the higher reaction temperature is helpful for the formation of selenidoantimonate(V) compounds in the synthesis of selenidoantimonate from the M²⁺/Sb/Se/dien system. 1 – 4 start to decompose at temperature about 210 °C in N₂ atmosphere. They lose dien ligands at a wide temperature range of 210–450 °C with multisteps for 1 – 3 and a single step for 4 .

The new ternary compounds Rb₄Ti₃S₁₄, Cs₄Zr₃S₁₄, K₄Hf₃Se₁₄, and K₄ZrHf₂Se₁₄ were prepared by reacting the respective transition metals in alkali metal polychalcogenide melts. Two crystallographically independent transition metal cations are present that are coordinated by eight chalcogen atoms (Q) in an irregular fashion or by seven chalcogen atoms yielding a distorted pentagonal bipyramid. The M(1)Q₈ and M(2)Q₇ polyhedra are connected by sharing common edges or trigonal faces leading to the formation of infinite linear one‐dimensional anionic chains running parallel to the [101] direction. The chains are separated by alkali metal cations. The optical band gaps determined are 1.59 eV for Rb₄Ti₃S₁₄, 2.35 eV for Cs₄Zr₃S₁₄, and 2.02 eV for K₄Hf₃Se₁₄. In‐situ X‐ray powder diffractometry demonstrates that Rb₄Ti₃S₁₄ decomposes at 430 °C into Rb₂S₅ and TiS. During the cooling cycle the re‐formation of the polysulfide is observed. According to this result the polysulfide could be prepared using TiS instead of metallic Ti as well.
