Abstract

The title compound Cu3PSe4 was synthesized by the reaction of CuCl, P2Se5 and Se in a molar ratio of 1:1:1 at 500 °C and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. The crystal belongs to orthorhombic, space group Pmn21 with cell parameters: a = 7.685(2), b = 6.656(1), c = 6.377(1) Å, V = 326.2(1) Å3, Z = 2, Dc = 5.472 g/cm3, M r = 537.43, F(000) = 476, μ = 32.12 mm-1, R = 0.0642, wR = 0.1481 and S = 1.037. The 3-D structure can be regarded as constructed from the alternately stacking of [Cu(2)Se4] tetrahedral layers and Cu(1)-P-Se tetrahedral layers along the b direction, in which the Cu(2)-Se layer is comprised of corner-sharing [Cu(2)Se4] tetrahedra along the a and c directions, and the Cu(1)-P-Se layer is consisted of alternately corner-sharing [Cu(1)Se4] tetrahedra and [PSe4] tetrahedra along the a and c directions.
