Darstellung und Kristallstruktur von K2Sb4S7 · H2O / Preparation and Crystal Structure of K2Sb4S7 · H2O

Abstract

Abstract K2Sb4S7 · H2O crystallizes in the triclinic system with a = 1171.4(5) pm, b = 952.0(5) pm, c = 715.6(5) pm and α = 99.36(5)°, β = 86.80(5)°, γ= 103.48(5)°. One half of the Sb atoms has three sulfur neighbours forming with the free electron pair a ψ-ShS3 tetrahedron, while the other half is coordinated by four S atoms to build a ψ-trigonal SbS4 bipyramid. These polyhedra are connected by common edges and corners to a three-dimensional network with two types of channels, in which either K+ ions only or K+ ions and water molecules are located.
