Abstract
In order to obtain substances that are optically transparent in the infrared range, usable in the manufacture of optical fibers or radiation emitters, a metal or metalloid chalcogenide other than an oxide is produced by a double-substitution reaction between a starting chalcogen compound--particularly a hydride such as H.sub.2 S, H.sub.2 Se or H.sub.2 Te--and a salt of the desired metal or metalloid, e.g. a chloride. The starting compound and the reactant salt preferably are vaporized at a temperature below the melting point of the resulting metal chalcogenide which thereupon precipitates in the reaction chamber.
