Abstract

The influence of the Lewis basicity of alkali polysulfide fluxes (A ₂S _x) (A = alkali) as a function of x on the respective reactivities of Pb and Sn with Ge was studied and found to be strong. Cs ₄Pb ₄Ge ₅S ₁₆, K ₂PbGe ₂S ₆, and K ₄Sn ₃Ge ₃S ₁₄ could be prepared only under low basicity with S/A ₂S ratios of ≥ 11. These compounds display complex frameworks and are semiconductors. Cs ₄Pb ₄Ge ₅S ₁₆ is luminescent with red emission.
