  • (Hägg, 1932) states that the space group might be $P6_{3}22$ #182 or $P\overline{6}2c$ #190. We follow (Downs, 2003) and use the latter. (Hägg, 1932) and (Downs, 2003) set the sulfur coordinate $z_{3} = 0.73$. As noted by (Hermann, 1937), this gives a very short S–S bond distance, on the order of 0.5\AA. We use the value suggested by (Hermann, 1937), $z_{3} = 0.63$, which gives the S2O6 group exactly the same shape it has in K2S2O6 [ Strukturbericht $K11$].
