Abstract

The new compound SnSb₄S₇ has been synthesized at 600°C by reacting simple sulfides of Sn and Sb. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁lm, with a 11.331(10), b 3.865(2), c 13.940(5) Å, β 105.281(6)°, V 588.9(4) Å³ and Z = 2. The crystal structure has been refined to R₁ = 5.18% for 1331 unique [F₀ > 4σ(F₀)] reflections collected on a Bruker singlecrystal diffractometer with a CCD detector and monochromated MoKα X-radiation. The structure consists of rods of Sb₄S ₆ and Sn₂Sb₄S₈ organized into a configuration that represents the first monoclinic member of the meneghinite homologous series, Me²⁺_2N-4M³⁺ ₄S_2N+2, with N_1,2 = 2, 3, i.e., N_ave = 2.5. Partial miscibility of Sn and Sb in some positions of the larger rods is observed in this sulfosalt. tin, antimony, sulfosalt, crystal structure, meneghinite homologous series.
