· JVASP-25518· K4Au6S5

K4Au6S5 is a gold-sulfur intermetallic compound containing potassium, representing an exotic metal system not commonly encountered in conventional engineering. This is a research-phase material with limited industrial deployment; it belongs to the family of precious metal chalcogenides and is primarily studied for its unique crystal structure and electronic properties rather than as a production engineering material. Its relevance lies in specialized applications requiring tailored electronic, optical, or catalytic behavior in laboratory and emerging technology contexts.

Export Control

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
