AgTaS3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmc2_1 space group. Ta(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent S(3), three equivalent S(1), and three equivalent S(2) atoms. Ag(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent S(1) and two equivalent S(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ta(1) and two equivalent Ag(1) atoms. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ta(1) atoms. In the third S site, S(3) is bonded to two equivalent Ta(1) and two equivalent Ag(1) atoms to form corner-sharing STa2Ag2 tetrahedra.
AgTaS3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmc2_1 space group. Ta(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent S(3), three equivalent S(1), and three equivalent S(2) atoms. Both Ta(1)-S(3) bond lengths are 2.55 Å. There are two shorter (2.54 Å) and one longer (2.65 Å) Ta(1)-S(1) bond length. There are two shorter (2.54 Å) and one longer (2.65 Å) Ta(1)-S(2) bond length. Ag(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent S(1) and two equivalent S(3) atoms. Both Ag(1)-S(1) bond lengths are 3.03 Å. There is one shorter (2.45 Å) and one longer (2.46 Å) Ag(1)-S(3) bond length. There are three inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ta(1) and two equivalent Ag(1) atoms. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ta(1) atoms. In the third S site, S(3) is bonded to two equivalent Ta(1) and two equivalent Ag(1) atoms to form corner-sharing STa2Ag2 tetrahedra.
