The higher degree of covalency in the metal-sulfide bond in sulfides compared to the metal-oxide bond in oxides often leads to the breakdown of the ionic model for the description of sulfides, making the two classes of materials rather dissimilar. Th... Read More about Mixed-metal one-dimensional sulfides-A class of materials with differences and similarities to oxides.
