Abstract
The reaction of KAsS2, copper powder, and elemental sulfur in supercri tical ethylenediamine (300-350-degrees-C and 3500 psi) leads to format ion or two new quaternary solids having the formulas KCu2AsS3 and KCu4 AsS4. Both products are orange crystalline solids having complex low-d imensional structures of Cu(I) linked by AsS33- groups, forming layers (for KCu2AsS3) or channels (for KCu4-AsS4). The KCu4AsS4 compound als o contains lone sulfide ions, which help to cross-link layers. Both so lids can be considered alkali metal derivatives of sulfosalts.
