Figure 2
A view of the packing along [1 3 1]17 ∥ − abas, i.e. along the axis of the ribbons shown in Fig. 1. Traces of important planes, all of which include the view direction, are marked; they are labeled both for the approximate commensurate supercell having Z′ = 17 and for the basic cell of the incommensurate description. Also marked are the short S⋯S contacts. The projections of axes bbas and cbas appear as dashed lines. The filled parallelograms isolate the areas of the inter-ribbon contacts that are probably most important in determining the modulation. The angles between [1 3 1]17 ∥ − abas and [12 2 ]17 ∥ − c*bas is 81.3°; the angle with [10 ]17 ∥ [2 0 ]bas is 126.1°. |
