Abstract

Single crystals of the quaternary thiospinel Ag_1.41(1)Cr _1.47(5)Sn_2.52(5)S₈ have been obtained by heating stoichiometric mixtures of elemental metals and sulfur at 750 °C. Structural analysis by single crystal X-ray diffraction shows that the above phase crystallizes in the Fd3̄m space group with a = 10.4142(3) Å (R₁ = 0.0156 and wR₂ = 0.0416). The Ag-deficiency has been confirmed by solving the structures of crystals prepared in different batches and was observed to vary slightly between crystals. Magnetic studies on a monophasic powder sample with a nominal composition of Ag _1.63CrSn₃S₈ indicates anti-ferromagnetic ordering at low temperature. The high temperature susceptibility leads to a magnetic moment of 3.45 B.M. suggesting that chromium exists predominantly in a trivalent state.
