Materials Data on EuAsS by Materials Project
EuAsS crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Eu3+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent As1- and five equivalent S2- atoms. There are a spread of Eu–As bond distances ranging from 3.35–3.49 Å. There are a spread of Eu–S bond distances ranging from 2.83–2.87 Å. As1- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Eu3+ and two equivalent As1- atoms. There are one shorter (2.48 Å) and one longer (2.52 Å) As–As bond lengths. S2- is bonded to five equivalent Eu3+ atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing SEu5 square pyramids.
