Materials Data on AgHgSI by Materials Project
AgHgSI crystallizes in the orthorhombic P2_12_12_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ag1+ is bonded to two equivalent S2- and two equivalent I1- atoms to form corner-sharing AgS2I2 tetrahedra. There are one shorter (2.61 Å) and one longer (2.67 Å) Ag–S bond lengths. There are one shorter (2.80 Å) and one longer (2.94 Å) Ag–I bond lengths. Hg2+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent S2- atoms. Both Hg–S bond lengths are 2.40 Å. S2- is bonded to two equivalent Ag1+ and two equivalent Hg2+ atoms to form distorted corner-sharing SAg2Hg2 trigonal pyramids. I1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ag1+ atoms.
