Abstract:
Poly[1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane(2+) [hepta-mu-sulfido-trisulfidohexaantimony(III)]], {(C10H26N4)[Sb6S10]}n, consists of novel [Sb6S10]2- layers containing Sb2S2, Sb4S4 and Sb7S7 hetero-rings, which are separated by macrocyclic amine molecules. The macrocyclic amine molecules are disordered over two crystallographically distinct positions and are diprotonated in order to balance the charge of the anionic layers.

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
