Materials Data on SnSO4 by Materials Project

Abstract

SnSO4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two SnSO4 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Sn2+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sn–O bond distances ranging from 2.27–2.33 Å. S6+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.46–1.51 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Sn2+ and one S6+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Sn2+ and one S6+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sn2+ and one S6+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S6+ atom.
