Materials Data on Rb2Pd3S4 by Materials Project

Abstract

Rb2Pd3S4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fddd space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rb1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent S2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–S bond distances ranging from 3.64–3.71 Å. There are two inequivalent Pd2+ sites. In the first Pd2+ site, Pd2+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent S2- atoms. All Pd–S bond lengths are 2.38 Å. In the second Pd2+ site, Pd2+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent S2- atoms. There are two shorter (2.37 Å) and two longer (2.38 Å) Pd–S bond lengths. S2- is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Rb1+ and three Pd2+ atoms.
