In this paper we present an expression relating the lattice energy ( U in kcal/mol) for the A III B V and A II B VI semiconductors with the product of ionic charges ( Z 1 Z 2 ) and nearest‐neighbor distance d (Å). The lattice energy of these compounds exhibit a linear relationship when plotted on a log–log scale against the nearest‐neighbor distance d (Å), but fall on different straight lines according to the ionic charge product of the compounds. A fairly good agreement has been found between the observed and calculated values of the lattice energy for A III B V and A II B VI semiconductors. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
