Six novel phases of the 1:1‐silicides and ‐germanides of K, Rb, and Cs have been synthesized using a high‐temperature method (4 GPa, 600°C); under normal conditions they are metastable. The six compounds crystallize in the cubic KGe‐type at normal pressure; the nine phases belong to the tetragonal NaPb‐type, which have previously only been found in stannides and plumbides of the alkali metals. The constant axes ratio c / a ≈ 1.63 suggests geometrical relationships of the NaPb‐type.
