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. This feature considers how one-dimensional ternary (or mixed-metal) sulfides can be considered a class of materials for which the ionic model is still valid...
