Materials Data on TlSbS2 by Materials Project

Abstract

TlSbS2 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Tl1+ sites. In the first Tl1+ site, Tl1+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to seven S2- atoms. There are a spread of Tl–S bond distances ranging from 3.05–3.91 Å. In the second Tl1+ site, Tl1+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven S2- atoms. There are a spread of Tl–S bond distances ranging from 3.15–3.88 Å. There are two inequivalent Sb3+ sites. In the first Sb3+ site, Sb3+ is bonded in a see-saw-like geometry to four S2- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–S bond distances ranging from 2.44–2.94 Å. In the second Sb3+ site, Sb3+ is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four S2- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–S bond distances ranging from 2.46–2.80 Å. There are four inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded to three Tl1+ and two equivalent Sb3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing STl3Sb2 square pyramids. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Tl1+ and two Sb3+ atoms. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Tl1+ and two Sb3+ atoms. In the fourth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four Tl1+ and two equivalent Sb3+ atoms.
