Six new quaternary chalcogenides belonging to the pavonite sulfosalt mineral family with
the general formula M n+ 1 (Bi/Sb) 2Q n+ 5 (n= 2–7) were synthesized by direct reactions of …

Cu1. 4Ag0. 4Bi5. 4Se9, the first quaternary compound in the system Cu/Ag/Bi/Se, was
obtained from the elements by melt synthesis after pre-reaction and annealing steps. It …

The thermal reactions of Cu with CuBr and Bi2S3 yielded black, shiny needles of the mixed‐
valent compound Cu3Bi2S3Br2=(CuI) 6 (BiII2)(BiIII) 2S6Br4. This first low‐valent copper …

Two new metal chalcoiodides were synthesized by solid-state reactions at 400° C. Crystal
