Materials Data on Tl3SbS4 by Materials Project

Abstract

Tl3SbS4 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Tl1+ sites. In the first Tl1+ site, Tl1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six S2- atoms. There are a spread of Tl–S bond distances ranging from 3.10–3.67 Å. In the second Tl1+ site, Tl1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six S2- atoms. There are a spread of Tl–S bond distances ranging from 3.15–3.57 Å. In the third Tl1+ site, Tl1+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five S2- atoms. There are a spread of Tl–S bond distances ranging from 3.10–3.46 Å. Sb5+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four S2- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–S bond distances ranging from 2.36–2.39 Å. There are four inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three Tl1+ and one Sb5+ atom. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four Tl1+ and one Sb5+ atom. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to five Tl1+ and one Sb5+ atom. In the fourth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to five Tl1+ and one Sb5+ atom.
