(enH2)(4.5)[In(As(V)S4)3][As2(III)(μ-S2)S3]Cl and (enH2)MnAs(III)As(V)S6: two thioarsenates(III, V) with mixed-valent optical properties.

Two mixed-valent thioarsenates, namely (enH2)(4.5)[In(As(V)S4)3][As2(III)(μ-S2)S3]Cl (1) and (enH2)MnAs(III)As(V)S6 (2) (en = ethylenediamine), have been solvothermally synthesized and characterized. Thermal stability, magnetic and mixed-valent optical properties, as well as theoretical band structures and DOSs, of 1 and 2 have also been studied.
