Materials Data on BaPdS2 by Materials Project
BaPdS2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent S2- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–S bond distances ranging from 3.19–3.45 Å. Pd2+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent S2- atoms. All Pd–S bond lengths are 2.39 Å. S2- is bonded to four equivalent Ba2+ and two equivalent Pd2+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, edge, and corner-sharing SBa4Pd2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–68°.
