Materials Data on Ag2HgS2 by Materials Project
Ag2HgS2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ag1+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent S2- atoms. There are a spread of Ag–S bond distances ranging from 2.52–2.68 Å. Hg2+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent S2- atoms. Both Hg–S bond lengths are 2.43 Å. S2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ag1+ and one Hg2+ atom.
