In this Mini-Review, the authors present recent advances in rare-earth oxychalcogenides. They discuss the characteristics and bonding preferences of oxide and chalcogenide anions as illustrated by the layered structures of ternary rare-earth oxychalcogenides, and they review quarternary compounds which combine anionic and cationic design strategies toward materials discovery and describe the structural diversity. Finally, the authors review the progression from layered two-dimensional compounds to three-dimensional networks and the synthetic approaches which enable this advancement.
