Popis: The quaternary selenide Ba4GeSb2Se11 was prepared by a high-temperature solid state reaction method. Ba4GeSb2Se11 crystallizes in an acentric orthorhombic space group Cmc21 with the lattice constants a = 9.370(11) A, b = 25.850(0) A, and c = 8.798(10) A. The compound is composed of a [SbSe3]3- trigonal pyramid, [GeSbSe5]3- dimers, V-shaped Se32-, and the adjacent Ba2+ ions. It has indirect band gap of 1.35 eV and exhibits a second harmonic generation intensity of about 0.2 times that of the benchmark compound AgGaS2 at the same particle size. Interestingly, theoretical analyses show that the central Se atom of Se32- has the largest contribution (8.1%) to d31 compared to that of other Se atoms, which may be due to its easy swing in the a-axis direction.
