Abstract:LiPbSb 3 S 6 : A Semiconducting Sulfosalt with Very Low Thermal Conductivity. -LiPbSb3S6 is prepared by stoichiometric solid state reaction of Li2S, Pb, Sb, and S (evacuated carbon-coated silica ampule, 800°C, 2 h, quenching; 98% yield). The new compound crystallizes as a member of the lillianite homologous series and is composed of PbS-type Sb/Li-S layers separated by trigonal-prismatic-coordinated Pb/Li (monoclinic, space group P2 1 /c, Z = 4, powder XRD). Electronic band structure calculations indicate an i… Show more
