We report the first experimental evidence for the intimate connection between superconductivity and antiferromagnetism in Rb0.8Fe2Se2-xTex single crystal under negative chemical pressure by substituting Se with isovalent Te atoms. Electrical resistance measurements in the temperature range from 4 K to 550 K demonstrate that both superconducting transition temperature (Tc) and Neel temperature (TN) were suppressed continuously with the lattice expansion. When the Te concentration x in Rb0.8Fe2Se2-xTex approaches 0.3, the superconducting transition temperature Tc is completely suppressed and the sample behaves like a semiconductor, meanwhile the characteristic peak of antiferromagnetic transition on resistance curve disappears. Our observation suggests that the pressure-induced lattice expansion can be used to tune the correlativity of superconductivity and antiferromagnetism.
