Materials Data on La2CdS4 by Materials Project
CdLa2S4 crystallizes in the tetragonal I-42d space group. The structure is three-dimensional. La3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent S2- atoms. There are a spread of La–S bond distances ranging from 2.83–3.35 Å. Cd2+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent S2- atoms. There are four shorter (2.73 Å) and four longer (3.34 Å) Cd–S bond lengths. S2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La3+ and two equivalent Cd2+ atoms.
