Two new quaternary rare-earth chalcogenides, Al_0.42Sm₃(Si_0.74Al_0.26)S₇ (1) and Al_0.38Gd₃(Si_0.86Al_0.14)S₇ (2), have been synthesized by a facile solid-state route with boron as the reducing reagent. They crystallize in the noncentrosymmetric hexagonal space group P6₃, belonging to the Ce₆Al_3.33S₁₄ structure-type. Their 3-D structures feature 3-D frameworks constructed by RES₈ bicapped trigonal prisms, and Al and Si occupy the octahedral and tetrahedral voids, respectively. Al(2) and Si(1) co-occupying the 2b site and Al(1) partially occupying the 2a site have to be considered for the stability of the structures and charge balances. The Ce₆Al_3.33S₁₄ structure-type compounds with their rich compositions and traits are discussed. The diffuse reflectance spectrum measurement of 2 indicates that it has an energy gap of 2.13 eV.
