Methanolothermal reaction of M(2)CO(3) (M = Rb, Cs) with E(2)Se(3) (E
= As, Sb) and Se at temperatures in the range 180 - 200 degrees C lead
s to the formation of tetraselenidoarsenates(V) and -antimonates(V) M(
3)ESe(4) in moderate to quantitative yields. All four compounds crysta
llize in the (NH4)(3)AsS4 structure type (space group Pnma) and contai
n isolated slightly distorted tetrahedral ESe(4)(3-) anions with cryst
allographic C-S symmetry. Both of the independent cations are coordina
ted in an irregular manner by seven Se atoms.
