Materials Data on Pa2S3 by Materials Project
Pa2S3 is Corundum structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pa3+ is bonded to six equivalent S2- atoms to form a mixture of face, edge, and corner-sharing PaS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 47–57°. There are three shorter (2.73 Å) and three longer (2.75 Å) Pa–S bond lengths. S2- is bonded to four equivalent Pa3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing SPa4 trigonal pyramids.
