I would like to know the various transition metal chalcogenides or dichalcogenides (Se or S based), it would be most appreciated if their synthesis is also shared.
Selenides should have the better conductivity due to the narrower electronic band gap. As a rule of the thumb the band gap decreases with increasing polarizibility of the anions. As an example we can consider the Cd chalcogenides:
CdS 2.42 eV yellow body colour
CdSe 1.74 eV red body colour
CdTe 1.56 eV black body colour
However, this only concerns the intrinsic conductivity, while p- or n-type dopants can enhance the conductivity tremendously. Many TM chalcogenides can be made by precipitation from solution, as e.g. ZnS, CdS, HgS by the addition of S2- anions.
