Materials Data on Na4Sn2C4SO16 by Materials Project

Abstract

Na4Sn2C4SO16 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fddd space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Na1+ sites. In the first Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted NaO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent NaO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent SnO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one SO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 59–82°. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.33–2.48 Å. In the second Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted NaO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent NaO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent SnO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one SO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 59–82°. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.31–2.63 Å. Sn3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form SnO6 octahedra that share edges with four NaO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Sn–O bond distances ranging from 2.26–2.31 Å. C4+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.30 Å) and one longer (1.31 Å) C–O bond length. S6+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- atoms to form SO4 tetrahedra that share edges with four NaO6 octahedra. All S–O bond lengths are 1.50 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Na1+ and one S6+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Na1+, one Sn3+, and one C4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Na1+, one Sn3+, and one C4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Na1+, one Sn3+, and one C4+ atom.
