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]
