Yh. Ko et al., NOVEL LAYERED SULFIDES OF TIN - SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF CS4SN5S12-CENTER-DOT-2H(2)O AND SN5S12(N2C4H11)(2)(N4C10H24), Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (1), 1994, pp. 69-70
Framework com positions [Sn5S12](4-) have been synthesized hydrotherma
lly in the presence of triethylenediamine (Dabco) and caesium, respect
ively; the cations are accommodated between the sheets with orientatio
n relationships suggestive of a templating mechanism and their crystal
structures have been determined.
