Novel Eu8In17.33S34 (1) is obtained by a solid state reaction and its structure features three parallel slabs of [In9.33S18]∞, [Eu8]∞, and [In8S16]∞, together with defects in specific lattice sites. It is the first monoclinic ternary M8- mIn18- n Q34 ( M = Pb, Sn, Eu; Q = S, Se) phase member, and the modulation from the ultralong In-S bond and lattice site with strong antibonding effect results in the unique structure feature. Its single crystals show anisotropic conductivity and photoconductivity.
