Popis: K2Hg2Se3, a new photoconducting material with a direct band gap around 1.4 eV, was obtained in nearly quantitative yields and large scale (50 g per batch) by means of solvothermal treatment of a corresponding solid. The compound comprises covalently linked selenidomercurate columns that accommodate potassium counterions. Composition and structure allow for a specific combination of optoelectronic, photophysical, and thermoelectric properties, which initiates a systematic material development within this family of compounds.
