Abstract

The noncentrosymmetric niobium and tantalum selenoarsenates, A ₃Nb₂AsSe₁₁ (A=K, Rb, Cs) and K ₃Ta₂AsSe₁₁, were synthesized in a polyselenoarsenate flux. All compounds crystallize in the polar monoclinic space group Cc. The structures are comprised of the same type of infinite chain anions, [M₂Se₂(Se₂)₃(AsSe ₃)]^3- (M=Nb, Ta) separated by alkali metal cations. The As³⁺ centers with nonbonded electron pairs play an important role in stabilizing the noncentrosymmetric structures. UV-Vis spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and differential thermal analysis data are reported. The energy gaps of these compounds vary between 1.35 and 1.53eV.
