Materials Data on Li9S3N by Materials Project
Li9S3N crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one N3- and three equivalent S2- atoms. The Li–N bond length is 2.08 Å. All Li–S bond lengths are 2.51 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six equivalent S2- atoms to form corner-sharing LiS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Li–S bond lengths are 2.76 Å. N3- is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Li1+ atoms. S2- is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to ten Li1+ atoms.
