Abstract

The synthesis and structure of a new ternary silver telluride, CsAg₅Te₃, is described. The compound was prepared from a Cs₂TeCaTeTe flux but it can also be prepared from a direct combination of Cs₂Te and Ag₂Te under vacuum at 600 °C. The crystal data for CsAg₅Te₃ at 20 °C (Mo Kα radiation) are as follows: a = 14.672(2) A ̊ and c = 4.601(3) A ̊; V = 990.5(8) A ̊³; Z = 4; D_calc = 7.075 g cm^-3; space group, P4₂/mnm (No. 136); 2θ_max = 50°; number of independent data collected, 572; number of data observed with I > 3σ(I), 267; number of variables, 32; μ = 218.51 cm^-1; extinction coefficient, 0.585 × 10^-7; final R = 0.040; R_w = 0.046; goodness of fit, 1.42. The compound features a new structure type with Cs⁺-filled, relatively large tunnels running through the lattice. The material is a semiconductor with a band gap of about 0.65 eV.
