Description

Research highlights: → The crystal structure of the ternary compound Ag2SiS3 was determined on the basis of X-ray powder diffraction pattern. → The title compound crystallizes in a new structure type: space group P21/c, a = 0.66709(1), b = 0.66567(2), c = 1.31748(3) nm, and β = 118.658(1)o. → The crystal structure of Ag2SiS3 consists of isolated [Si2S6]4- anionic units of pairs of edge-shared tetrahedra. The Ag atoms are situated in the interstices formed by these fragments. - Abstract: The crystal structure of the ternary compound Ag2SiS3 was determined on the basis of X-ray powder diffraction. The compound belongs to a new structure type, space group P21/c, a = 0.66709(1), b = 0.66567(2), c = 1.31748(3) nm, and β = 118.658(1)o. Ag2SiS3 contains isolated [Si2S6] anionic units consisting of pairs of edge-shared tetrahedra. The Ag atoms are situated in the interstices formed by these fragments.
