Materials Data on AsS by Materials Project

Abstract

SAs is alpha Selenium-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four tetraarsenic tetrasulfide molecules. there are four inequivalent As2+ sites. In the first As2+ site, As2+ is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two S2- atoms. Both As–S bond lengths are 2.26 Å. In the second As2+ site, As2+ is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two S2- atoms. There are one shorter (2.26 Å) and one longer (2.27 Å) As–S bond lengths. In the third As2+ site, As2+ is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two S2- atoms. Both As–S bond lengths are 2.25 Å. In the fourth As2+ site, As2+ is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two S2- atoms. Both As–S bond lengths are 2.26 Å. There are four inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two As2+ atoms. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two As2+ atoms. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two As2+ atoms. In the fourth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two As2+ atoms.
