Abstract

An unprecedented quaternary metal chalcogenide HgZn₂I₄Cl₂ (1) was synthesized by a solid-state reaction and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 is characterized by a one-dimensional (1-D) infinite chain-like structure, which is constructed from the interconnected 9-membered HgZn₂I₄Cl₂ quadrangles.
