Abstract
We examined why the 1T-VS(2) layer of the layered compound Sr(6)V(9)S(22)O(2) has the x superstructure in terms of electronic band structure calculations and metal-metal bonding across the shared edges of adjacent VS(6) octahedra. On the basis of this analysis we explored how the anomalous magnetic and transport properties of Sr(6)V(9)S(22)O(2) can be explained. Our work shows that the x superstructure is not caused by a charge density wave instability associated with Fermi surface nesting but by the metal-metal bonding through the shared edges of adjacent VS(6) octahedra. The weak and strong electron localizations observed for Sr(6)V(9)S(22)O(2) were discussed in terms of three-center two-electron and two-center two-electron V-V bonds in the 1T-VS(2) layers.
