Cs[Ag4Zn2(SCN)9].
Caesium tetrasilver dizinc nonathiocyanate, Cs[Ag(4)Zn(2)(SCN)(9)], forms a continuous structure, where the Ag atoms and the S atoms of the thiocyanate groups form chains which run along [101]. These chains are bonded together through the Cs and Zn atoms. It is not possible to distinguish between space groups P1 and P-1, but, if the latter space group is correct, the structure contains a thiocyanate group disordered across a centre of inversion. The structure is described in space group P-1, in which the Cs atom also lies on a centre of inversion.
