Abstract
The flux growth method was successfully employed to synthesize millimeter-sized single crystals of the ternary barium vanadium pnictides Ba5V12As19+x (x ≈ 0.02) and Ba5V12Sb19+x (x ≈ 0.36), using molten Pb and Sb, respectively. Both compositions crystallize in space group P 4 ¯ 3m and adopt a structure similar to those of the barium titanium pnictides Ba5Ti12 Pn 19+x (Pn = Sb, Bi), yet with a subtly different disorder, involving the pnictogen and barium atoms. Attempts to obtain an arsenide analog of Ba5Ti12 Pn 19+x using a Pb flux technique yielded binary arsenides. High-temperature treatment of the elements Ba, Ti, and As in Nb or Ta tubes resulted in side reactions with the crucible materials and produced two isostructural compositions Ba8Ti13-x M x As21 (M = Nb, Ta; x ≈ 4), representing a new structure type. The latter structure displays fcc-type metal clusters comprised of statistically distributed Ti and M atoms (M = Nb, Ta) with multi-center and two-center bonding within the clusters, as suggested by our first-principle calculations.

Abstract
The discovery of new families of exfoliatable 2D crystals that have diverse sets of electronic, optical, and spin-orbit coupling properties enables the realization of unique physical phenomena in these few-atom-thick building blocks and in proximity to other materials. Herein, using NaSn2As2 as a model system, we demonstrate that layered Zintl phases having the stoichiometry ATt2Pn2 (A = group 1 or 2 element, Tt = group 14 tetrel element, and Pn = group 15 pnictogen element) and feature networks separated by van der Waals gaps can be readily exfoliated with both mechanical and liquid-phase methods. We identified the symmetries of the Raman-active modes of the bulk crystals via polarized Raman spectroscopy. The bulk and mechanically exfoliated NaSn2As2 samples are resistant toward oxidation, with only the top surface oxidizing in ambient conditions over a couple of days, while the liquid-exfoliated samples oxidize much more quickly in ambient conditions. Employing angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, density functional theory, and transport on bulk and exfoliated samples, we show that NaSn2As2 is a highly conducting 2D semimetal, with resistivities on the order of 10-6 Ω·m. Due to peculiarities in the band structure, the dominating p-type carriers at low temperature are nearly compensated by the opening of n-type conduction channels as temperature increases. This work further expands the family of exfoliatable 2D materials to layered van der Waals Zintl phases, opening up opportunities in electronics and spintronics.
