Abstract
The crystal structures of triclinic and monoclinic modifications of Nb thiobromide NbS2Br2 are determined by X-ray analysis. Both modifications possess layered structures in which {Nb2(µ-S2)2}4+ cluster units are connected by bridging bromides into 2D layers ∞2[Nb2(S2)2Br8/2]. The two polymorphs differ only in the way in which the layers are stacked. Interatomic distances and bond angles are identical for both polymorphs.
