Synthesis and characterization of new vanadates of antimony, ASbV2O8 (A = K, Rb, Tl or Cs) †

Syntheses and characterization of one-dimensional alkali metal antimony(III) thiostannates(IV), A2Sb2Sn3S10 (A=K, Rb, Cs)

“…We previously reported [8,14] the synthetic and structural studies of nine quaternary sulfides of A/Cd/Sn/S (A¼Li, Na) and A/Ga/Sn/S (A¼alkali metal, Tl) systems. Na 2 CdSnS 4 , Na 6 CdSn 4 S 12 and Li 2 CdSnS 4 compounds are found to contain Cd 2 þ and Sn 4 þ ions in both tetrahedral and octahedral coordinations.…”

Stannites – A New Promising Class of Durable Electrocatalysts for Efficient Water Oxidation

“…Quaternary sulfides or selenides of the formula usually contain three different metals. A great variety of (semi)metals can be implemented for example A =Li, Na, Ag, Cu; B =Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Zn, Cd; and C =Si, Ge, Sn . Many members of this class of materials crystallize in the stannite structure type named after the mineral stannite with the formula Cu 2 FeSnS 4 .…”

Solid-state synthesis, structural variants and transformation of three-dimensional sulfides, AGaSnS4 (A=Na, K, Rb, Cs, Tl) and Na1.263Ga1.263Sn0.737S4

“…They possess diverse structure types ranging from linear to three-dimensional and could be broadly categorized into three types, namely, metal-rich compounds [4], sulfur-rich ones [5] and those having a 1:1 ratio of metal to sulfur [6]. Previously we reported [7] the utility of this technique in the exploratory synthetic investigation of quaternary A/Cd/Sn/S (A ¼ Li, Na) systems for isolation of three sulfides, three-dimensional Na 2 CdSnS 4 and layered Na 6 CdSn 4 S 12 and Li 2 CdSnS 4 . Apart from compositional and structural diversity of these sulfides, it is interesting that Cd 2+ and Sn 4+ ions have tetrahedral coordination in A 2 CdSnS 4 compounds and octahedral coordination in sulfur-rich Na 6 CdSn 4 S 12 .…”
