Materials Data on SnSO4 by Materials Project

Abstract

SnSO4 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two SnSO4 ribbons oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. Sn2+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sn–O bond distances ranging from 2.23–2.25 Å. S6+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.47–1.51 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sn2+ and one S6+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sn2+ and one S6+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S6+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Sn2+ and one S6+ atom.
