  1. Nine new rare earth magnesium-containing thiosilicates of the formula RE3Mg0.5SiS7 (Ln = Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er) were synthesized in an alkali halide flux using the boron chalcogen mixture (BCM) method. Crystals of high quality were produced, and their structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compounds crystallize in the hexagonal crystal system in the P63 space group. Phase pure powders of the compounds were used for magnetic susceptibility measurements and for second harmonic generation (SHG) measurements. Magnetic measurements indicate that Ce3Mg0.5SiS7, Sm3Mg0.5SiS7, and Dy3Mg0.5SiS7 exhibit paramagnetic behavior with a negative Weiss temperature over the 2−300 K temperature range. SHG measurements of La3Mg0.5SiS7 demonstrated SHG activity with an efficiency of 0.16 times the standard potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP).
