Materials Data on H2SO4 by Materials Project

Abstract

H2SO4 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cc space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four sulfuric acid molecules. there are two inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. S6+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.43–1.59 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S6+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one H1+ and one S6+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to one H1+ and one S6+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S6+ atom.
