Abstract

The Crystal and Molecular Structure of γ-P 4 S 6 . -The crystal structure of the title compound, prepared from equimolar amounts of P4S3 and FeCl3 in a 2:1 mixture of CS2 and CHCl3 (Ar, 8 weeks), is determined by single crystal XRD. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/m with Z = 2. The sructure of γ-P4S6 contains cage-like P4S6 molecules with Cs symmetry arranged with the topology of a cubic closed packing. -(ROEDL, T.; PFITZNER*, A.; Z. Anorg. Allg.
