Abstract: | Alkali Metal Bismuthides ABi and ABi2 — Synthesis, Crystal Structure, Properties The Zintl phases ABi (A = K/Rb/Cs; monoclinic, space group, P21/c, a = 1422.3(2)/1474.2(2)/1523.7(3), b = 724.8(1)/750.2(1)/773.7(1), c = 1342.0(2)/1392.1(2)/1439.9(2) pm and β = 113.030(3)/113.033(2)/112.722(3)°, Z = 16) crystallize with the β‐CsSb structure type containing chains of two‐connected Bi atoms. Hence, and according to calculated electronic structures, they are semiconductors with small band gaps of approx. 0.5 eV. In contrast, the compounds ABi2 (A = K/Rb/Cs; cubic, space group Fd3¯m, a = 952.1(2)/962.4(8)/972.0(3) pm, Z = 8) belong to the Laves phases, showing a typical metallic electrical conductivity and no band gaps. |
