SnS2 is observed to have a layer compressibility similar to that of graphite, and a reversible color change with pressure is explained from band structure calculations.

The isotypic compounds K8In11, Rb8In11, K8Tl11, and Rb8Tl11 were prepared from the elements. The crystal structures were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. (K8In11: a = 1002.1(3), c = 5089.1(8) pm; Rb8In11: a = 1030.1(3), c = 5236.7(7) pm; Κ8Τl11: a = 999.1(3), c = 5084.8(7) pm; Rb8Tl11: a = 1028.0(3), c = 5230.5(7) pm, R3̄c, Z = 6). The crystal structures contain In11- and Tl11-clusters, respectively, of pentacapped trigonal prisms. Band structure calculations on K8In11 confirm an [In11]7-“anion”, with one excess electron per In11-cluster involved in alkalimetal-earthmetal bonding.

The crystal structure of the lanthanum titanium bismuthide La3TiBi5 (Pearson code hP18, Wyckoff sequence b d g2) has been established from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data and analyzed in detail using first-principles calculations. There are no anomalies pertaining to the atomic displacement parameter of the Ti site, previously reported based on a powder X-ray diffraction analysis of this compound. The anionic substructure contains columns of face-sharing TiBi6 octahedra and linear Bi chains. Due to a significant La(5d) and Bi(6p) orbital mixing, a perfectly one-dimensional character of the Bi chains is not realised, while a three-dimensional electronic structure is established instead. The latter fact explains the stability of the polyanionic pnictide units against Peierls distortions. The hypervalent bonding in the Bi chains is reflected in a rather long Bi—Bi distance of 3.2264 (4) Å and a typical pattern of bonding and antibonding interactions, as revealed by electronic structure calculations.

AbstractSynthesis, structural characterization and chemical bonding peculiarities of two new quaternary selenides of the Tl4Sb8Sn5Se24 and Tl5Sb2Sn4Se14−x (x = 0.5) are reported. The crystal structures of these compounds were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The Tl4Sb8Sn5Se24 phase is a new structure type and crystallizes in the triclinic P 1̅ space group (a = 7.9061(13) Å, b = 13.9035(16) Å, c = 21.4665(17) Å, α = 80.058(8)°, β = 84.727(10)°, γ = 73.542(12)°, wR2 = 0.0258, 8200 F2 values, 373 variables). The Tl5Sb2Sn4Se14−x (x = 0.5) phase represents a new structure type with a tetragonal unit cell (P 4/mbm, a = 8.1570(10) Å, c = 21.946(3) Å, wR2 = 0.0346, 1953 F2 values, 44 variables). Crystallographic analysis together with linear muffin-tin orbital band structure calculations reveals that both structures we conform to the concept of Zintl-Klemm and exhibit semiconductor properties.
