Layered hexagonal KLaSe2 ({alpha}-NaFeO{sub 2}-type) was synthesized using the reactive flux method and analyzed by powder XRD to determine its lattice constants (space group R-3m, a = 4.40508(5) A, c = 22.7838(5) A). NaLaSe{sub 2}, which normally crystallizes as a disordered rock salt structure with mixed Na+/La + 3 sites, was synthesized through a solid state ion exchange reaction at 585 deg. C from a 1:3 molar ratio mixture of KLaSe{sub 2}:NaI. The product of this reaction was hexagonally layered NaLaSe{sub 2} (space group R-3m, a = 4.3497(3) A, c = 20.808(2) A) isostructural to KLaSe{sub 2}. This product was analyzed by comparison with members of the set of solid solutions Na{sub (1-x)}K{sub (x)}LaSe{sub 2} to confirm that the extent ion exchange in this reaction was complete. Cubic (disordered) NaLaSe{sub 2} was also reacted with KI to yield the poorly crystalline hexagonally layered product with the approximate formula Na{sub 0.79}K{sub 0.21}LaSe{sub 2}. |
