Abstract
The compound Sr6V9S22O2 was prepared from SrS, sulfur, vanadium metal, and V2O5 at 950 °C in an evacuated quartz tube. The compound is rhombohedral, R3, with a = 8.7538(6) Å, c = 34.934(3) Å, and Z = 3, and shows strong preferred orientation in its XRD profiles (00l) due to the layered nature of the structure. The compound contains charged CdI2 type VS2 layers of formula [V7S14]4- separated by [Sr6(VOS3)2(S2)]4+ layers. The latter has VOS33- tetrahedra and S22- disulfide units linked by Sr2+ ions. Magnetic susceptibility and four-probe resistivity studies show essentially temperature-independent paramagnetism above 80 K and small gap semiconductor behavior, respectively. The compound has a positive Hall coefficient at room temperature. The relationship among Sr6V9S22O2, 'SrV2S5' (J. Solid State Chem. 1996, 126, 189), and other AM2S5 phases is discussed.
