Abstract

The crystal structure of a samarium polysulfide single crystal, which is a phase with a composition SmS1.9 was determined (Enraf-Nonius CAD-4 automatic diffractometer, λMoKα, graphite monochromator, an absorption correction applied according to transmission curves and habit data, Raniso = 0.0467 for 1963 independent Ihkl>2Σ(I) of 7817 Ihkl measured in the range 2.56⪯6⪯30.95‡). The crystal is tetragonal, space group P42/n, a = 8.796(1), c = 15.889(3) å, V = 1229.3(3) å3; for the composition SmS1.9 and Z = 20, dcalc = 5.707 g/cm3, dexp = 5.71 ±0.02 g/cm3. It is shown that the crystal is isostructural to polyselenide crystals of analogous composition LnSe1.9 (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd); the stoichiometric formula of the compound is suggested to be Ln10X19 (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm; X = S, Se). The crystals are of PbFCl structural type (P4/nmm, a0, c0) with the unit cell parameters related as\(\bar a = \bar a_0 + 2\bar b_0 ,\bar b = - 2\bar a_0 + \bar b_0 ,\bar c = 2\bar c{}_0or a = b = a_0 \sqrt {5,} c = 2c\). The phase individuality of the polysulfide is confirmed by the form of the P-T projection corresponding to the P-T-X diagram of the Sm-S system.
