description: SAs crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two arsenic compounds molecules; one As4S3 cluster; one SAs cluster; one SSAs cluster; one As3S4 ribbon oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction; and two SAs ribbons oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. In the As4S3 cluster, there are four inequivalent As2+ sites. In the first As2+ site, As2+ is bonded in a water-like geometry to two S2- atoms. There are one shorter (2.26 Å) and one longer (2.27 Å) As–S bond lengths. In the second As2+ site, As2+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S2- atom. The As–S bond length is 2.28 Å. In the third As2+ site, As2+ is bonded in a water-like geometry to two S2- atoms. There are one shorter (2.28 Å) and one longer (2.29 Å) As–S bond lengths. In the fourth As2+ site, As2+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S2- atom. The As–S bond length is 2.26 Å. There are three inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two As2+ atoms. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two As2+ atoms.
