Materials Data on Ni(SN)4 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ni(NS)4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of eight Ni(NS)4 clusters. Ni4+ is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two S2- atoms. There are one shorter (2.11 Å) and one longer (2.12 Å) Ni–S bond lengths. There are four inequivalent N1+ sites. In the first N1+ site, N1+ is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one S2- atom. The N–S bond length is 1.54 Å. In the second N1+ site, N1+ is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two S2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.62 Å) and one longer (1.63 Å) N–S bond length. In the third N1+ site, N1+ is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one S2- atom. The N–S bond length is 1.54 Å. In the fourth N1+ site, N1+ is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two S2- atoms. Both N–S bond lengths are 1.62 Å. There are four inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Ni4+ and one N1+ atom. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two N1+ atoms. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Ni4+ and one N1+ atom. In the fourth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two N1+ atoms.
