Materials Data on Li3SbS3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Li3SbS3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are six inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing LiS4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Li–S bond distances ranging from 2.41–2.69 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to four S2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–S bond distances ranging from 2.37–3.10 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing LiS4 trigonal pyramids. There are three shorter (2.42 Å) and one longer (3.18 Å) Li–S bond lengths. In the fourth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three S2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–S bond distances ranging from 2.38–2.44 Å. In the fifth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three S2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–S bond distances ranging from 2.40–2.43 Å. In the sixth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three S2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–S bond distances ranging from 2.34–2.41 Å. There are two inequivalent Sb3+ sites. In the first Sb3+ site, Sb3+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three S2- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–S bond distances ranging from 2.45–2.48 Å. In the second Sb3+ site, Sb3+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three S2- atoms. There are two shorter (2.46 Å) and one longer (2.49 Å) Sb–S bond lengths. There are six inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded to three Li1+ and one Sb3+ atom to form distorted SLi3Sb trigonal pyramids that share a cornercorner with one SLi3Sb tetrahedra and corners with three equivalent SLi4Sb trigonal bipyramids. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four Li1+ and one Sb3+ atom. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded to four Li1+ and one Sb3+ atom to form distorted SLi4Sb trigonal bipyramids that share a cornercorner with one SLi3Sb tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent SLi3Sb trigonal pyramids, and an edgeedge with one SLi4Sb trigonal bipyramid. In the fourth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three Li1+ and one Sb3+ atom. In the fifth S2- site, S2- is bonded to three Li1+ and one Sb3+ atom to form SLi3Sb tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one SLi4Sb trigonal bipyramid and a cornercorner with one SLi3Sb trigonal pyramid. In the sixth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Li1+ and one Sb3+ atom.
