Materials Data on K(CoS)2 by Materials Project
K(CoS)2 is alpha bismuth trifluoride-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent S2- atoms. All K–S bond lengths are 3.31 Å. Co+1.50+ is bonded to four equivalent S2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing CoS4 tetrahedra. All Co–S bond lengths are 2.22 Å. S2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent K1+ and four equivalent Co+1.50+ atoms.
