The oxidation of lanthanum powder with sulfur and cesium azide (CsN 3) in the presence of lanthanum tribromide (LaBr3) yields lanthanum nitride sulfide with the composition La4N2S 3 when appropriate molar ratios of the reactants are used. Additional cesium bromide (CsBr) as a flux secures fast reactions (7 d) at 900 °C in evacuated silica tubes as well as the formation of almost black single crystals. The orthorhombic crystal structure (Pnnm, Z = 2) was determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data (a = 641.98(4), b = 1581.42(9), c = 409.87(3) pm). Two crystallographically different La3+ cations are present, La1 resides in sixfold coordination of two N3- and four S2- anions forming a trigonal prism and La2 is coordinated by two N3- and five S2- in the shape of a monocapped trigonal prism. However, the main feature of the crystal structure comprises N3--centred (La 3+)4 tetrahedra which arrange as pairs [N 2La6]12+ of edge-shared [NLa4] 9+ units and which are further connected via four vertices to form double chains ∞1{[N2La 2La′4/2]6+}. They get bundled along [001] like a hexagonal rod packing and are held together by two crystallographically different S2- anions. Further motifs for the connectivity of [NM 4]9+ tetrahedra in crystal structures of nitride chalcogenides and halides of the rare-earth elements (M = Sc, Y, La; Ce - Lu) with ratios of N : M = 1 : 2 are presented and discussed for comparison.
