Abstract

Cu2WS4(CuCl2)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two Cu2WS4 ribbons oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction and two CuCl2 ribbons oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In each Cu2WS4 ribbon, there are two inequivalent W6+ sites. In the first W6+ site, W6+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent S2- atoms. All W–S bond lengths are 2.56 Å. In the second W6+ site, W6+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent S2- atoms. All W–S bond lengths are 2.56 Å. Cu+1.50+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent S2- atoms. All Cu–S bond lengths are 2.40 Å. S2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two W6+ and two equivalent Cu+1.50+ atoms. In each CuCl2 ribbon, Cu+1.50+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Cl1- atoms. All Cu–Cl bond lengths are 2.31 Å. Cl1- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Cu+1.50+ atoms.
