The crystal structure of the new cluster compound Ag3RbMo9Se11 is described in the hexagonal space group P63/m and contains bi-octahedral Mo9Se11 units that leave channels that are randomly filled by Rb+ cations, while Ag+ cations are located between the Mo9Se11 units. Measurements of the electrical resistivity, thermopower, and thermal conductivity revealed that Ag3RbMo9Se11 behaves as a p-type semiconductor with very low lattice thermal conductivity yielding a maximum ZT of 0.4 at 800 K.
