Ternary alkali lead chlorides - KPb2Cl5, K2PbCl4, RbPb2Cl5, Rb2PbCl4,
CsPbCl3, KPbCl3 and Cs4PbCl6, are an important group of divalent lead
compounds which, regarding the large concentration range of lead and i
ts location in various crystal structures of these compounds, forms a
very important model system for the investigation of the emission mech
anism of divalent lead emission centers. This paper presents the basic
information about these compounds as well as their purification and t
he results obtained in crystal growth. It deals with crystal structure
s of these compounds and their comparison with that of PbCl2. Great at
tention is paid to the study of absorption and emission properties of
these compounds.
