AgAsS2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. Ag(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent S(1) and three equivalent S(2) atoms. As(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one S(2) and two equivalent S(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Ag(1) and two equivalent As(1) atoms. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded to three equivalent Ag(1) and one As(1) atom to form corner-sharing SAg3As tetrahedra.
AgAsS2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. Ag(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent S(1) and three equivalent S(2) atoms. There is one shorter (2.66 Å) and one longer (3.12 Å) Ag(1)-S(1) bond length. There are a spread of Ag(1)-S(2) bond distances ranging from 2.64-2.73 Å. As(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one S(2) and two equivalent S(1) atoms. The As(1)-S(2) bond length is 2.25 Å. There is one shorter (2.32 Å) and one longer (2.35 Å) As(1)-S(1) bond length. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Ag(1) and two equivalent As(1) atoms. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded to three equivalent Ag(1) and one As(1) atom to form corner-sharing SAg3As tetrahedra.
