Abstract: Sheet Rb2HgSnS4 was synthesized solvothermally and characterized by X-ray single crystal diffraction. The compound is comprised of sheets with admantane-like [Hg2Sn2S10]8– units. The crystals belong to the space group C2/c, with the unit cell parameters a=1.1063(2) nm, b=1.1071(2) nm, c=1.5741(3) nm, a=90°, β=100.13(3)°, γ=90°. A reflectance spectroscopy study reveals the nature of the semiconductor with an energy of 2.1 eV for the compound.

Key words: Solvothermal synthesis, Quaternary thiostannate, Sheet structure
