Materials Data on GdSBr by Materials Project
GdSBr is Baddeleyite-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Gd3+ is bonded to four equivalent S2- and three equivalent Br1- atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing GdS4Br3 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Gd–S bond distances ranging from 2.75–2.77 Å. There are a spread of Gd–Br bond distances ranging from 2.96–3.12 Å. S2- is bonded to four equivalent Gd3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing SGd4 tetrahedra. Br1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Gd3+ atoms.
