Materials Data on Rb4PS3O16 by Materials Project

Abstract

Rb4PS3O16 crystallizes in the orthorhombic P2_12_12 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Rb sites. In the first Rb site, Rb is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten O atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 3.01–3.33 Å. In the second Rb site, Rb is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.89–3.39 Å. In the third Rb site, Rb is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten O atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.96–3.33 Å. P is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O atoms. There is two shorter (1.54 Å) and two longer (1.55 Å) P–O bond length. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O atoms. All S–O bond lengths are 1.49 Å. In the second S site, S is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O atoms. All S–O bond lengths are 1.49 Å. There are eight inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three Rb and one S atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two Rb and one S atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two Rb and one P atom. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Rb and one P atom. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three Rb and one S atom. In the sixth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to three Rb and one S atom. In the seventh O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Rb and one S atom. In the eighth O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Rb and one S atom.
