Abstract
A novel antimony sulfide, [C4H10N]2[Sb8S13]·0.15H2O, was synthesized hydrothermally, and its structure was determined from data collected using a synchrotron/imaging plate system. The new compound consists of centrosymmetric Sb16S264- planar clusters. Each cluster is connected to four others through two edge-sharing and two corner-sharing SbS3 pyramids, forming an extended sheet. The protonated pyrrolidine molecules reside between the parallel stacked sheets. The structure is triclinic (space group P1) with a = 6.929(2) A, b = 16.747(2) A, c = 17.976(4) A, α = 94.84(1°), β = 95.41(1)°, and γ = 125.28(1)°.
