Materials Data on P2S5 by Materials Project
P2S5 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two P2S5 clusters. there are four inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form corner-sharing PS4 tetrahedra. There are one shorter (1.92 Å) and three longer (2.12 Å) P–S bond lengths. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form corner-sharing PS4 tetrahedra. There are one shorter (1.92 Å) and three longer (2.12 Å) P–S bond lengths. In the third P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form corner-sharing PS4 tetrahedra. There are one shorter (1.92 Å) and three longer (2.12 Å) P–S bond lengths. In the fourth P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form corner-sharing PS4 tetrahedra. There are one shorter (1.92 Å) and three longer (2.12 Å) P–S bond lengths. There are ten inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P5+ atom. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two P5+ atoms. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two P5+ atoms. In the fourth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two P5+ atoms. In the fifth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P5+ atom. In the sixth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two P5+ atoms. In the seventh S2- site, S2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two P5+ atoms. In the eighth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P5+ atom. In the ninth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two P5+ atoms. In the tenth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P5+ atom.
