Materials Data on Rb2S2O7 by Materials Project

Abstract

Rb2S2O7 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rb1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.96–3.25 Å. S6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form corner-sharing SO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.45–1.68 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Rb1+ and one S6+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Rb1+ and one S6+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Rb1+ and one S6+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent S6+ atoms.
