Abstract

Na₈Pb₂(Ge₂S₆)₂, Na₈Sn₂(Ge₂S₆)₂, and Na₈Pb₂(Si₂Se₆)₂ were synthesized by reacting Pb or Sn, Ge, and Na₂S_x or Na₂Se_x flux at 850 °C, 750 °C, and 850 °C respectively. Yellow-orange Na₈Pb₂(Ge₂S₆)₂ crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/m (No. 12) with a=6.839(2) Å, b=11.783(2) Å, c=7.744(2) Å, β= 107.00(2) deg, and V=596.7(4) Å³, Z=1. D_cale = 3.543 g cm^-3, number of unique data with F²_o>3 σ(F²_o), 645, number of variables, 37. The final R/R_w=2.9/3.9. Isostructural ruby-red Na₈Sn₂(Ge₂S₆)₂ crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C₂/m (No. 12) with a=6.849(1) Å, b= 11.777(1) Å, c=7.705(1) Å, β=106.44(1) deg, and V=596.1(3) Å³, Z=1. D_cale= 3.054 g cm^-3, number of unique data with F²_o>3 σ(F²_o), 480, number of variables, 38. The final R/R_w = 2.1/2.7. Isostructural red-orange Na₈Pb₂(Si₂Se₆)₂ crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/m (No. 12) with a=7.070(3) Å, b= 12.214(3) Å, c=7.969(3) Å, β=107.29(3) deg, and V=657.1(4) Å₃, Z 1. D_cale=4.190 g cm^-3, number of unique data with F²_o3 >3 σ(F²_o), 494, number of variables, 37. The final R/R_w = 2.4/3.4. The structure of these new materials consists of [Ge₂S₆]^6- or [Si₂Se₆]^6- ethane-like fragments surrounded by metal cationic sites which are occupied either by sodium or by mixtures of sodium and lead or tin. The ordering of Pb on these cationic sites leads to a 2-dimensional "layered" morphology for Na₈Pb₂(Ge₂S₆)₂ while the ordering of Sn on the cationic sites leads to a 3-dimensional "chunky" morphology for Na₈Sn₂(Ge₂S₆)₂. The ordering of Pb on the cationic sites in Na₈Pb₂(Si₂Se₆)₂, is the same as the ordering in Na₈Pb₂(Ge₂S₆)₂ although the crystal morphology is chunky rather than layered. Raman and vibrational spectroscopic data are consistent with the presence of [Ge₂S₆]^6- fragments in the first two compounds. Single crystal optical spectra indicate that these semiconductors have bandgaps of 2.43 eV for Na₈Pb₂(Ge₂S₆)₂ and 2.06 eV for Na₈Sn₂(Ge₂S₆)₂.
