Abstract

Godlevskite Ni₉S₈ has been found to be an OD (order-disorder)structure consisting of two kinds of OD layers in strict alternation;these layers display stacking disorder. They have layer symmetriesP( Formula

)2m and P2₁2(2), respectively(symmetry elements in parentheses are perpendicular to OD layers).Two structures with maximum degree of order (MDO polytypes),with space-group symmetries A222 and I4₁22, respectively, exist,together with more complex polytypes or disordered sequences.The OD character is in keeping with the frequent twinning ofgodlevskite.
