The new germanium selenophosphates K4Ge4-xPxSe12 (1) and Rb6Ge2P2Se14 (2) are reported. The former is a one-dimensional metastable compound synthesized using the polychalcogenide flux method that crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with lattice parameters a = 6.7388(7) Å, b = 13.489(1) Å, c = 6.3904(6) Å, and β = 91.025(8)°. At a glance, a mixed Ge4+/P5+ tetrahedral site and disordered Se position are found among the corner sharing tetrahedra that make up the polymeric anion. After careful examination, the structure was found to be incommensurately modulated and a single q-vector of q = 0.4442(6)a* + 0.3407(6)c* was determined after annealing single crystals below their decomposition point for 30d. The latter compound contains the new discrete molecular anion [Ge2P2Se14]6– and crystallizes in P1̅ with lattice parameters a = 7.2463(8) Å, b = 9.707(1)Å, c = 11.987(1)Å, α = 79.516(9)°, β = 89.524(9)°, and γ = 68.281(9)°. Both compounds are semiconductors with band gaps of 1 and 2 being 1.9 eV and 2.2 eV, respectively.
