Na₃VOS₃

F. Q. Huang and J. A. Ibers

Abstract: The title compound, trisodium vanadium oxide trisulfide, has been synthesized by the reaction of the elements in an Li₂O/Na₂S flux at 723  K. The structure comprises isolated tetrahedral VOS₃^3- anions separated by Na⁺ cations. The anion has symmetry m. Bond distances include V-O = 1.673  (2)  Å, and V-S = 2.1746  (4) and 2.1971  (6)  Å. Each Na⁺ cation is coordinated in a distorted octahedron by one O and five S atoms.
