A large amount of interest has been dedicated to combining chalcogens (Q= S, Se, and Te) with select transition metals. There are several differences found between the currently widespread oxygen-based materials and the lesser explored chalcogen-based materials. Of this group, the compounds containing tin and chalcogens, known as chalcogenostannates, have shown promise for thermoelectric applications as well as solar cell absorbers. The single crystal structure of Cu2FeSn3Se11 will be discussed as well as other preliminary results on similar analogs.
