Materials Data on NaFeS2 by Materials Project
NaFeS2 is beta beryllia-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic I222 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Na1+ is bonded to four equivalent S2- atoms to form distorted NaS4 trigonal pyramids that share corners with six FeS4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent NaS4 trigonal pyramids, and an edgeedge with one FeS4 tetrahedra. There are two shorter (2.78 Å) and two longer (2.86 Å) Na–S bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Fe3+ sites. In the first Fe3+ site, Fe3+ is bonded to four equivalent S2- atoms to form FeS4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent NaS4 trigonal pyramids, edges with two equivalent FeS4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent NaS4 trigonal pyramids. All Fe–S bond lengths are 2.20 Å. In the second Fe3+ site, Fe3+ is bonded to four equivalent S2- atoms to form FeS4 tetrahedra that share corners with eight equivalent NaS4 trigonal pyramids and edges with two equivalent FeS4 tetrahedra. All Fe–S bond lengths are 2.15 Å. S2- is bonded to two equivalent Na1+ and two Fe3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SNa2Fe2 tetrahedra.
