Seven new rare-earth transition-metal oxychalcogenides: Syntheses and characterization of Ln{sub 4}MnOSe{sub 6} (Ln=La, Ce, Nd), Ln{sub 4}FeOSe{sub 6} (Ln=La, Ce, Sm), and La{sub 4}MnOS{sub 6}

The quaternary oxychalcogenides Ln{sub 4}MnOSe{sub 6} (Ln=La, Ce, Nd), Ln{sub 4}FeOSe{sub 6} (Ln=La, Ce, Sm), and La{sub 4}MnOS{sub 6} have been synthesized by the reactions of Ln (Ln=La, Ce, Nd, Sm), M (M=Mn, Fe), Se, and SeO{sub 2} at 1173K for the selenides or by the reaction of La{sub 2}S{sub 3} and MnO at 1173K for the sulfide. Warning: These reactions frequently end in explosions. These isostructural compounds crystallize with two formula units in space group C{sub 6v}{sup 4}-P6{sub 3}mc of the hexagonal system. The cell constants (a, c in A) at 153K are: La{sub 4}MnOSe{sub 6}, 9.7596(3), 7.0722(4); La{sub 4}FeOSe{sub 6}, 9.7388(4), 7.0512(5); Ce{sub 4}MnOSe{sub 6}, 9.6795(4), 7.0235(5); Ce{sub 4}FeOSe{sub 6}, 9.6405(6), 6.9888(4); Nd{sub 4}MnOSe{sub 6}, 9.5553(5), 6.9516(5); Sm{sub 4}FeOSe{sub 6}, 9.4489(5), 6.8784(5); and La{sub 4}MnOS{sub 6}, 9.4766(6), 6.8246(6). The structure of these Ln{sub 4}MOQ{sub 6} compounds comprises a three-dimensional framework of interconnected LnOQ{sub 7} bicapped trigonal prisms, MQ{sub 6} octahedra, and the unusual LnOQ{sub 6} tricapped tetrahedra.
