Abstract

Black lustrous single crystals of Tl2GeTe3 were prepared from the melt. Tl2GeTe3 is orthorhombic, oP48, s.g. Pnma with a=8.303(4)Ä, b=21.514(9)Ä, c=8.453(6)Ä, Z=8. The crystal structure was refined to a conventional R of 0.047 (Rw=0.043, 1151 Fo's, 58 variables). The crystal structure is characterized by discrete bitetrahedral [Ge2Te6]4- groups aligned parallel to [010], which are separated by Tl(+)-cations. The atomic arrangement is isostructural with Tl2SnSe3
