Materials Data on Al2BiS4 by Materials Project
Al2BiS4 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nnc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Al3+ sites. In the first Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to four equivalent S2- atoms to form edge-sharing AlS4 tetrahedra. All Al–S bond lengths are 2.28 Å. In the second Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to four equivalent S2- atoms to form edge-sharing AlS4 tetrahedra. All Al–S bond lengths are 2.28 Å. Bi2+ is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent S2- atoms. All Bi–S bond lengths are 2.87 Å. S2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Al3+ and one Bi2+ atom.
