Metal-rich Cu3Rh34S30 was synthesized by a microwave-assisted soft-chemistry route. The crystal structure is derived from Rh17S15 by filling of the Rh-enclosed cubic voids. The DOS at the Fermi level is strongly reduced in comparison with Rh17S15 and entails disruption of long-range Rh−Rh interactions in favor of Cu−Rh interactions, which triggers suppression of superconductivity. The bonding situation of the copper atoms resembles that in copper metal despite the presence of the Rh−S framework.
