Short summary
The As4S6 molecule was missing in the reported structures of crystalline As chalcogenides. Here we report the first occurrence of the As4S6 molecule together with the other known As4Sn (n = 3, 4, 5) molecules randomly replacing each other in the crystalline structure of a new monoclinic product obtained by the light-induced alteration of the mineral alacranite, As8S9.
