Figure 4
Structure of kermesite, OD layer L0, idealized structure model, projection along the a vector of Kupčík's cell in the ball-and-stick model, with all symmetry elements corresponding to the λ-POs indicated. The mirror and glide planes are only indicated on the right margin in order to preserve the clarity of the picture. Two unit cells (protocells) are indicated; in the lower one the atom labels are displayed, in the upper one the numbers indicate the x coordinates (×102) of the atoms. There are 8 formula units per protocell. The O atoms are located in σ-ρ planes, so respective red balls represent the half-atoms. Of Sb3, Sb4 pyramids, only basal S atoms are displayed as the apical atoms belong to adjacent OD layers. Note also the lateral shifts of Sb3, Sb4 atoms. Symbolic figures (see §3.3.4 and Fig. 5), here overlapping the symbols of inversion centers, are also displayed in the appropriate places with local symmetry 2/m. |
