Six new quaternary rare-earth sulfides Ba(3)LnInS(6) (Ln = Pr, Sm, Gd, Yb) and Ba(2)LnGaS(5) (Ln = Pr, Nd) have been synthesized for the first time. Ba(3)LnInS(6) (Ln = Pr, Sm, Gd, Yb) belong to the centrosymmetric space group R3[overline]c of the trigonal system. The structures contain infinite one-dimensional anionic chains (1)(∞)LnInS(6), which are built from face-sharing LnS(6) distorted triangular prisms and InS(6) octahedra. Ba(2)LnGaS(5) (Ln = Pr, Nd) crystallize in the centrosymmetric space group I4/mcm of the tetragonal system. Their structures consist of (BaLn)S layers built from (BaLn)S(8) bicapped trigonal prisms. These layers are stacked perpendicular to the c axis and further connected by GaS(4) tetrahedra to form a three-dimensional framework with channels occupied by Ba(2+) cations. As deduced from magnetic susceptibility measurements on Ba(2)NdGaS(5), it is paramagnetic and obeys the Curie-Weiss law. Besides, the band gap of Ba(2)NdGaS(5) is determined to be about 2.12(2) eV.
首次合成了六种新的四元稀土硫化物 Ba(3)LnInS(6)(Ln = Pr、Sm、Gd、Yb)和 Ba(2)LnGaS(5)(Ln = Pr、Nd)。Ba(3)LnInS(6)(Ln = Pr、Sm、Gd、Yb)属于三方晶系的中心对称空间群 R3[overline]c。结构中包含无限一维阴离子链(1)(∞)[LnInS(6)](6-),由共面共享的 LnS(6)扭曲三角棱柱和 InS(6)八面体组成。Ba(2)LnGaS(5)(Ln = Pr、Nd)在四方晶系的中心对称空间群 I4/mcm 中结晶。它们的结构由(BaLn)S 层组成,这些层由(BaLn)S(8)双帽三角棱柱组成。这些层垂直于 c 轴堆积,并进一步由 GaS(4)四面体连接,形成具有由 Ba(2+)阳离子占据的通道的三维框架。根据对 Ba(2)NdGaS(5)的磁化率测量,它是顺磁的,符合居里-外斯定律。此外,Ba(2)NdGaS(5)的能带隙约为 2.12(2) eV。
