Materials Data on PbSO4 by Materials Project
PbSO4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pb2+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten O2- atoms. There are a spread of Pb–O bond distances ranging from 2.60–3.07 Å. S6+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.47–1.51 Å. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Pb2+ and one S6+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Pb2+ and one S6+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Pb2+ and one S6+ atom.
