Materials Data on Cu3P8(S2Cl)3 by Materials Project
(CuCl)3(P4S3)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of eight tetraphosphorus trisulfide molecules and six CuCl ribbons oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. In each CuCl ribbon, Cu+1.67+ is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Cl1- atoms. There are one shorter (2.32 Å) and one longer (2.33 Å) Cu–Cl bond lengths. Cl1- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Cu+1.67+ atoms.
