15. y flux was washed off with N,N-dimethylformamide under nitrogen to reveal very thin red-brown plate-shaped crystals.
16. In most of the quaternary series the alkali metal site is mixed-occupied with the coinage metal (except the K/Cu combination). The similar atomic radii and same square antiprismatic site environment of these atoms can facilitate such disorder.
17. A STOE IPDS II diffractometer was used to collect intensity data (Mo Kα radiation). An analytical absorption correction was performed, and all structures were refined with JANA2000 software (Petricek, V.; Dusek, M. Institute of Physics: Praha, Czech Republic, 2000). Detailed crystal data reports can be found in the Supporting Information.
18. - layer also contains a square Te net. However, it is not distorted as the fonnal charge on each Te atom in this layer is 2- and Te-Te interatomic distances greater than 4.4 Å.
