KAg₅S₃

Potassium pentasilver trisulfide, KAg₅S₃ was synthesized in supercritical ethylenediamine, using techniques previously reported [Wood et al. (1992). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 114, 9233-9235]. Dark-red crystals of KAg₅S₃ crystallize in the hexagonal space group P2c. The compound has an open-channeled structure composed of Ag and S atoms, with K⁺ cations sitting in the middle of these channels.
