Two new quaternary thioarsenates(III), SrAg4As2S6⋅2 H2O (1) and BaAgAsS3 (2), have been prepared through a hydrazine-hydrothermal method at low temperature. Compound 1 possesses a two-dimensional (2D) layer network, while compound 2 features a one-dimensional (1D) column structure. The detailed structure analysis indicates that Sr2+ and Ba2+ cations have different directing effects on the structures of thioarsenates(III). Both experimental and theoretical studies demonstrate that compounds 1 and 2 are narrow-gap semiconductors. Our success in synthesizing these two quaternary thioarsenates(III) proves that the hydrazine-hydrothermal technique is a powerful yet facile synthetic method for exploring new complex chalcogenides with diverse crystal structures and interesting physical properties.
