Materials Data on Pu2S3 by Materials Project
Pu2S3 is Corundum structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pu3+ is bonded to six equivalent S2- atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing PuS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 47–63°. There are three shorter (2.74 Å) and three longer (2.78 Å) Pu–S bond lengths. S2- is bonded to four equivalent Pu3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing SPu4 trigonal pyramids.
