Crystal structure, electronic structure, and optical properties of the novel Li4CdGe2S7, a wide-bandgap quaternary sulfide with a polar structure derived from lonsdaleite

Abstract: The novel quaternary thiogermanate Li4CdGe2S7 (tetralithium cadmium digermanium heptasulfide) was discovered from a solid-state reaction at 750 °C. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction data were collected and used to solve and refine the structure. Li4CdGe2S7 is a member of the small, but growing, class of I4–II–IV2–VI7 diamond-like materials. The compound adopts the Cu5Si2S7 structure type, which is a derivative of lonsdaleite. Crystallizing in the polar space group Cc, Li4CdGe2S7 contains 14 crystallographically… Show more

“…A similar range is found for the isostructural Li 2 CdGeS 4 , where the �(R) values are in the range 0.020-0.072 A ˚ (Craig et al, 2022). Low absolute values of S, the ellipsoidal shape parameter, are also observed for Cu 2 CdSiS 4 and Li 2 CdGeS 4 (Craig et al, 2022). In Cu 2 CdSiS 4 , the S values are negative for the CuS 4 and CdS 4 tetrahedra, indicating axial compression, while the slight positive value for SiS 4 implies axial stretching.…”

“…As shown in Table 3, all polyhedra are four-coordinate with limited distortion indicated by the relatively low �(R) values, which are in the range 0.030-0.087 A ˚, with the largest values found for Cu and S2. A similar range is found for the isostructural Li 2 CdGeS 4 , where the �(R) values are in the range 0.020-0.072 A ˚ (Craig et al, 2022). Low absolute values of S, the ellipsoidal shape parameter, are also observed for Cu 2 CdSiS 4 and Li 2 CdGeS 4 (Craig et al, 2022).…”

“…The crystallization of the DL structure in the noncentrosymmetric space groups makes this system naturally suitable for exploring NLO materials. In addition, DL structures can be classified into normal DL structures and defect DL structures, which results in the structural diversity and provides more possibilities for materials with excellent NLO properties. Recently, many promising NLO materials of DL structures were synthesized, e.g., Li 4 M II M IV 2 Q 7 ( M II = Cd, Hg; M IV = Ge, Sn; Q = S, Se), Li 2 Mg M IV Se 4 ( M IV = Ge, Sn), Hg 3 P 2 S 8, , M I M II PS 4 ( M I = Li, Ag, Cu; M II = Zn, Hg), and M II 3 PnI 3 (M II = Zn, Cd; Pn = P, As) …”
