A solvothermal synthesis of a novel 1D ladder-like (NH3CH2CH2NH3)AgAsS4 containing N–H⋯S hydrogen bonding

Abstract A one-dimensional compound (NH 3 CH 2 CH 2 NH 3 )AgAsS 4 with ladder-like chains was synthesized solvothermally. This compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group C2/c, with a =13.5805(8) A, b =6.5331(3) A, c =22.7711(9) A, α =90°, β =106.42(3)°, γ =90°, Z =8. The rare type hydrogen bonding of N–H⋯S and electrostatic force hold the anionic chains together.
