Abstract: A novel compound K4Ag2Sn3S9·2H2O with a layer structure was synthesized by a mild solvothermal route. The compound was characterized by X-ray diffraction,IR and UV-Vis diffusion reflectance spectrometry and DSC-TG techniques. The compound crystallizes in a monoclinic space group P21/m with a=0.780 71(2) nm, b=2.735 08(1) nm, c=1.050 08(2) nm, β =103.874(1), V=2.176 82(1) nm3, Z=4. This compound comprises of hollow layers built from adamantane-like anionic clusters [AgSn3S9]5- . Potassium ions and water molecules locate between the layers. The DSC-TG data show that this compound hydrolyzes partially during dehydration,and collapses at 450 ℃ in nitrogen. UV-Vis diffusion reflectance spectrum suggests that the title compound is a semiconductor with an estimated band gap of 2.4 eV.
