Chemical structure needed?

edit

This article was requested for a structural image at Category:Chemical_pages_needing_a_structure_drawing. Hence I added the image. Verify the correctness of the image and remove the conflict. --ElectroKid () 17:32, 12 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Well your good intentions are notable. I dont think that the material has been crystallized, and it would be surprising if it were molecular with Sb=S bonds. WIkipedia has lots of lists of to-do's, sometimes constructed by well-intentioned folks who maybe didnt realize that these requests can be nearly impossible to satisfy. --Smokefoot (talk) 17:42, 12 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
Ok. The image mimics the structure from pubchem and chemspider that didn't specify the form of crystals and I assumed it to be a covalent structure. But I leave it to the experts and public opinion. --ElectroKid () 18:50, 12 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
No problem. These websites seem to predict structures with an algorithm based on organic bonding rules. These rules often dont work very well as one moves away from carbon. --Smokefoot (talk) 02:25, 13 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
