Materials Data on AgSbPbS3 by Materials Project
AgPbSbS3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ag1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six S2- atoms. There are a spread of Ag–S bond distances ranging from 2.54–3.49 Å. Pb2+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing PbS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 13–28°. There are a spread of Pb–S bond distances ranging from 2.87–3.27 Å. Sb3+ is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four S2- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–S bond distances ranging from 2.48–3.26 Å. There are three inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded to two equivalent Ag1+, three equivalent Pb2+, and one Sb3+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing SAg2SbPb3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 11–13°. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Ag1+, one Pb2+, and one Sb3+ atom. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ag1+, two equivalent Pb2+, and two equivalent Sb3+ atoms.
