Antimony germanides

Antimony germanides or antimonide germanides are compounds containing germanium and antimony along with one or more metals. Bonding is only partially ionic, and can be considered as a Zintl phase, rather than antimonide ions with germanide ions. There are often covalent bonds between the antimony, reducing its apparent valence.[1][2]

Some of the compounds have varying ratios of antimony and germanium. For example at 600 °C Gd5Sb3 and Gd5Ge3 can form a solid solution.[3]

Gold does not form a ternary compound,[4] and neither does gallium[5] or bismuth.[6]

Germanium containing antimonides have been investigated for use in thermoelectric materials.[7]

Production

Antimonide germanide compounds can be made by heating a mixture of the powdered elements together at 600° or higher. Tantalum is used as the crucible material, as it does not react. Oxygen must be excluded to stop oxides from forming.[3]

Related compounds include substitution of germanium with other elements from group 13 or 14: SiSb, SnSb, PbSb, AlSb, GaSb, and InSb. Replacing antimony with other pnictides can form related compounds such as phosphidosilicates, arsenidosilicates, phosphidogermanates, arsenidogermanates, phosphidostannates, arsenidostannates, phosphidoplumbates, and arsenidoplumbates.[1]
