An Antimony Sulfide with a Two-Dimensional, Intersecting System of Channels

A novel open antimony sulfide framework of composition [Sb3S5]– has been synthesized hydrothermally, in the presence of tetramethyl ammonium ions. Determination of the crystal structure demonstrates that the (Me4N)+ molecules (Me, methyl) occlude a system of intersecting channels at 90° to one another. The three-dimensional framework is assembled from a new building unit, flat s-shaped buckled sheets of edge-linked 4-rings containing Sb2S2 moieties. These are cross-linked in two directions to form the system of channels.
