Materials Data on Lu2CdS4 by Materials Project
Lu2CdS4 is Spinel structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Lu3+ is bonded to six equivalent S2- atoms to form LuS6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent CdS4 tetrahedra and edges with six equivalent LuS6 octahedra. All Lu–S bond lengths are 2.69 Å. Cd2+ is bonded to four equivalent S2- atoms to form CdS4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent LuS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 58°. All Cd–S bond lengths are 2.58 Å. S2- is bonded to three equivalent Lu3+ and one Cd2+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing SLu3Cd trigonal pyramids.
