Materials Data on Sn2SO5 by Materials Project
Sn2SO5 crystallizes in the tetragonal P-42_1c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Sn2+ sites. In the first Sn2+ site, Sn2+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sn–O bond distances ranging from 2.17–2.56 Å. In the second Sn2+ site, Sn2+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sn–O bond distances ranging from 2.20–2.65 Å. S6+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.48–1.52 Å. There are five inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Sn2+ and one S6+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Sn2+ and one S6+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Sn2+ and one S6+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Sn2+ atoms to form distorted edge-sharing OSn4 tetrahedra. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Sn2+ and one S6+ atom.
