Abstract

Five new isostructural cubic thiogermanates with the formula A _0.5M_1.75GeQ₄ (A=Ag, Cu, Na; M=Pb, Eu; Q=S, Se) have been prepared by direct combination of stoichiometric amounts of the elements. The compounds crystallize in the noncentrosymmetric space group I-43d with Z=16 and a=14.0291(5) Å for Ag_0.5Pb_1.75GeS ₄, a=14.5949(19) Å for Ag_0.5Pb _1.75GeSe₄, a=13.9491(14) Å for Ag _0.5Eu_1.75GeS₄, a = 13.8145(9) Å for Cu_0.5Pb_1.75GeS₄ and a = 14.662(4) Å for Na_0.5Pb_1.75GeSe₄. The adopted structure is similar to that of Ba₃CdSn₂S₈, and features tetrahedral [GeQ₄]^4- building blocks. These compounds are semiconductors with energy gaps (E_g) ranging from 1.48 to 1.83 eV.
