Abstract

A new family of Na₇M^IISb₅S₁₂ (M^II = Zn, Cd and Hg) are the first examples exhibiting the unusual 12 + 12 multimember-ring (MR) configuration and an interesting (M^II/Sb)₃S₉ trimer. Moreover, ELF and EDD calculations also reveal that the tetrahedral configurations for the M^II/Sb atoms are reasonable and their large birefringences originate from the stereochemically active lone pair effect of the Sb atoms.
