Sb₂S₃ and CuCl were reacted in the ionic liquid [BMIm]Cl · 4.4AlCl₃ (BMIm=1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium) at 200°C. Upon cooling to room temperature, orange-red colored, air-sensitive crystals of Cu(Sb₂S₃)[AlCl₄] precipitated. X-ray diffraction on a single-crystal revealed an orthorhombic crystal structure, in which cationic [Cu(Sb₂S₃)]⁺ layers are separated by tetrahedral [AlCl₄]⁻ anions. The uncharged Sb₂S₃ partial structure consists of one-dimensional strands with covalent Sb-S single bonds. The copper(I) cation is coordinated by three sulfur atoms and by one of chlorine atoms of the [AlCl₄]⁻ anion. An optical band gap of 2.14 eV was deduced from UV/Vis spectra. In very good agreement, a band gap of 2.07 eV results from DFT-based calculations involving a new implementation of the bifunctional formalism for the exchange energy. By treatment with 0.1 molar hydrochloric acid, AlCl₃ was leached from Cu(Sb₂S₃)[AlCl₄] yielding a compound with the presumed composition Cu(Sb₂S₃)Cl. Hydrolysis at higher pH resulted in Cu₂₋ₓS and Sb₄O₅Cl₂.
