Article Abstract
The new germanium selenophosphates K(4)Ge(4-x)P(x)Se(12) (1) and Rb(6)Ge(2)P(2)Se(14) (2) are reported. The former is a one-dimensional metastable compound synthesized using the polychalcogenide flux method that crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c with lattice parameters a = 6.7388(7) Å, b = 13.489(1) Å, c = 6.3904(6) Å, and β = 91.025(8)°. At a glance, a mixed Ge(4+)/P(5+) tetrahedral site and disordered Se position are found among the corner sharing tetrahedra that make up the polymeric anion. After careful examination, the structure was found to be incommensurately modulated and a single q-vector of q = 0.4442(6)a* + 0.3407(6)c* was determined after annealing single crystals below their decomposition point for 30d. The latter compound contains the new discrete molecular anion [Ge(2)P(2)Se(14)](6-) and crystallizes in P1 with lattice parameters a = 7.2463(8) Å, b = 9.707(1)Å, c = 11.987(1)Å, α = 79.516(9)°, β = 89.524(9)°, and γ = 68.281(9)°. Both compounds are semiconductors with band gaps of 1 and 2 being 1.9 eV and 2.2 eV, respectively.

Layered materials with phase transitions, such as charge density wave (CDW) and magnetic and dipole ordering, have potential to be exfoliated into monolayers and few-layers and then become a large and important subfamily of two-dimensional (2D) materials. Benefitting from enriched physical properties from the collective interactions, long-range ordering, and related phase transitions, as well as the atomic thickness yet having nondangling bonds on the surface, 2D phase-transition materials have vast potential for use in new-concept and functional devices. Here, potential 2D phase-transition materials with CDWs and magnetic and dipole ordering, including transition metal dichalcogenides, transition metal halides, metal thio/selenophosphates, chromium silicon/germanium tellurides, and more, are introduced.

A new series of germanium chalcophosphates with the formula A(4)GeP(4)Q(12) (A = K, Rb, Cs; Q = S, Se) have been synthesized. The selenium compounds are isostructural and crystallize in the polar orthorhombic space group Pca2(1). The sulfur analogues are isostructural to one another but crystallize in the centrosymmetric monoclinic space group C2/c.
