Abstract
Cs6Ho21S34Cl crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Cs1+ sites. In the first Cs1+ site, Cs1+ is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to eight S2- and one Cl1- atom. There are a spread of Cs–S bond distances ranging from 3.61–4.16 Å. The Cs–Cl bond length is 3.42 Å. In the second Cs1+ site, Cs1+ is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to eight S2- and one Cl1- atom. There are a spread of Cs–S bond distances ranging from 3.61–4.15 Å. The Cs–Cl bond length is 3.42 Å. There are eight inequivalent Ho3+ sites. In the first Ho3+ site, Ho3+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form edge-sharing HoS6 octahedra.
