The ternary compound thallium bis­muth disulfide crystallizes in the space group R\overline{3}m and is isotypic with the structures of most of the ABQ2 chalcogenides (A = monovalent atom, B = trivalent atom and Q = chalcogen), which are members of the α-NaFeO2 structure type. In the title compound, the Tl and Bi atoms are situated on positions with \overline{3}m symmetry, whereas the S atom sites exhibit 3m symmetry. The metal atoms occupy octa­hedral voids in distinct planes perpendicular to the c axis. The environment around Tl is more distorted than the polyhedron around Bi.

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
