Materials Data on AsS by Materials Project

Abstract

SAs crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four tetraarsenic tetrasulfide molecules. there are two 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 (2.25 Å) and one longer (2.26 Å) As–S bond lengths. There are three inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent As2+ atoms. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent As2+ atoms. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two As2+ atoms.
