Materials Data on AuS5N5Cl4 by Materials Project

Abstract

AuCl4(NS)5 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two AuCl4 clusters and two NS clusters. In each AuCl4 cluster, Au5+ is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four Cl1- atoms. All Au–Cl bond lengths are 2.32 Å. There are two inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Au5+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Au5+ atom. In each NS cluster, there are three inequivalent N+1.80+ sites. In the first N+1.80+ site, N+1.80+ is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two S2- atoms. Both N–S bond lengths are 1.58 Å. In the second N+1.80+ site, N+1.80+ is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two S2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.56 Å) and one longer (1.57 Å) N–S bond length. In the third N+1.80+ site, N+1.80+ is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent S2- atoms. Both N–S bond lengths are 1.59 Å. There are three inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent N+1.80+ atoms. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two N+1.80+ atoms. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two N+1.80+ atoms.
