Materials Data on CsLiSO4 by Materials Project
LiCsSO4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cs1+ is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to eleven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cs–O bond distances ranging from 3.23–3.71 Å. Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent SO4 tetrahedra. There is two shorter (1.94 Å) and two longer (1.96 Å) Li–O bond length. S6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.48–1.50 Å. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a linear geometry to four equivalent Cs1+, one Li1+, and one S6+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a linear geometry to three equivalent Cs1+, one Li1+, and one S6+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cs1+, one Li1+, and one S6+ atom.
