Abstract
The transition metal chalcogeno-phosphates, M2P2X6 (M=Mn, Cd, Zn, Fe; X=S, Se) belong to a family of broad-band semiconductors with two dimensional, layered crystal structures. The basic structural repeat unit of these compounds is a sandwich of three covalently bonded atomic layers: a central layer of metal atoms and P-P pairs (in a ratio 2:1), between two layers of chalcogen atoms. These units are held together by weak van der Waals (VDW) bonds to form at the lamellar crystal lattice. The stacking arrangement produces a monoclinic or trigonal lattice at ambient temperature. Under appropriate conditions guest molecules can diffuse into the VDW region causing changes in the structural and physical properties of the host materials.
