S. Loken et al., TL2AU4S3 - X = 4 3 MEMBER OF THE SERIES A(2-X)AU(X)Q - PREPARATION AND AN ANALYSIS OF ITS GOLD-GOLD BONDING/, Chemical communications, (15), 1998, pp. 1603-1604
Tl2Au4S3 was synthesized by reacting gold with reactive fluxes of Tl2S
and S; its crystal structure is characterised by sheets of buckled 16
-membered rings of Au and S with short Au-Au contacts between the shee
ts; the Au-Au bonding has been analysed through high-level band struct
ure calculations.
