Materials Data on Rb2Pd3S2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Rb2Pd3S2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fddd space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of four Rb2Pd3S2 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Rb is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pd and two equivalent S atoms. There are one shorter (3.20 Å) and one longer (3.30 Å) Rb–Pd bond lengths. There are one shorter (3.40 Å) and one longer (3.41 Å) Rb–S bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb and one S atom. The Pd–S bond length is 2.29 Å. In the second Pd site, Pd is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent S atoms. Both Pd–S bond lengths are 2.38 Å. S is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb, two Pd, and one S atom. The S–S bond length is 2.23 Å.
