Abstract
A refined set of atomic coordinates and temperature parameters have been obtained for stibnite, Sb 2 S 3 . This structure contains parallel (Sb 4 S 6 ) n chains, which are linked to form crumpled sheets (two per unit cell). The quinvalent Sb has fivefold coordination in a square pyramid, where the Sb is slightly displaced out of the base center. The trivalent Sb has threefold coordination in a trigonal pyramid, where the Sb occupies the vertex. Two trivalent S have threefold coordination in a trigonal pyramid, where the S occupies the vertex. The other divalent S has twofold coordination. The physical properties are related to the crystal structure.Keywords
