New Rhenium Chalcogenides with (Re6X8)-Cluster Units
Abstract
A number of new ternary rhenium chalcogenides A4Re6X12 with A = T1, Cu, Na, Cs, X = Se; A = T1, Rb, X=S; and A2Re6X12 with A = Pb, X = S, Se, have been prepared using high temperature solid state reaction or ion exchange methods. These new phases are isostructural with K4Re6s12 (Space Group C2/c). The observed semiconducting and diamagnetic properties of these phases are consistent with the valence electron count (VEC) of 24. T1 and Re in T14Re6X12 (X = S, Se) have been confirmed by XANES to be in the +1 and +3 oxidation state, respectively. Ru can partially substitute for Re in T14RE6SE12 Forming solid solutions of T14RE6XRUXSE12. For x > or = 0.5, T1Re6-xRuSe12 shows metallic and antiferromagnetic behavior which suggest the possibility of VEC greater than 24.
