Short summary
In this paper, the full description of the extremely rare [Ag6]4+-cluster-containing new tetrahedrite-group mineral kenoargentotetrahedrite-(Zn) is reported. The structure refinement result confirms the coupling between the site occupancy factor of subvalent hexasilver clusters at the M(2) site and that of the vacancy at the S(2) site. This relationship further substantiates the charge balance substitution mechanism of S-deficiency tetrahedrites: 6M(2)Ag+ + S(2)S2– = M(2)[Ag6]4+ + S(2)□.
