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

A one-dimensional compound (NH3CH2CH2NH3)AgAsS4 with ladder-like chains was synthesized solvothermally. This compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group C2/c, with a=13.5805(8) Å, b=6.5331(3) Å, c=22.7711(9) Å, 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.
