Solid-State Actinide Chalcogenides and Pnictides
Differences between transition-metal oxide structures and chalcogenide structures are striking. These include polyhedra other than tetrahedra and octahedra as building blocks in most chalcogenide structures; the absence of closest packing in many chalcogenide structures; the common occurrence of layered structures for transition-metal chalcogenides; the presence of Q-Q bonds (Q = S, Se, Te), that is Qn2- species, n = 2, in many chalcogenides; and finally the wide range of possible Q-Q bond lengths, especially for the tellurides. Because of these differences, metal chalcogenides, in particular the tellurides, show a very rich structural chemistry that is fundamentally different from that of the oxides. Metal chalcogenides show a wide range of physical properties, including low-temperature superconductivity and phenomena, such as charge-density waves and highly anisotropic behavior, associated with their low-dimensionality. Such systems have received little attention compared with the oxides.
