Abstract

This paper reviews the reactive flux method for the synthesis of ternary and quaternary metal polychalcogenides, starting with the early synthesis of K4Ti3S14 and Na2Ti2Se8. It is shown that a variety of interesting solid-state metal chalcogenides, many of which show low dimensionality, may be synthesized over a range of temperatures. Compounds discussed include K4Hf3Te17 and Cs4Zr3Te16, the series Cu3NbSe4, KCu2NbSe4, K2CuNbSe4, and K3NbSe4, KCuMQ3 and NaCuMQ3 (M = Ti, Zr, Hf; Q = S, Se, Te), Cs0.68CuTiTe4, and CsTiUTe5. The unusual structural features of some of these newly synthesized compounds are discussed.
