Materials Data on Ge3Rh2S3 by Materials Project
Rh2Ge3S3 crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rh is bonded to three equivalent Ge and three equivalent S atoms to form corner-sharing RhGe3S3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 54–64°. All Rh–Ge bond lengths are 2.50 Å. All Rh–S bond lengths are 2.35 Å. Ge is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rh and two equivalent Ge atoms. There are one shorter (2.48 Å) and one longer (2.87 Å) Ge–Ge bond lengths. S is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Rh and one S atom. The S–S bond length is 2.10 Å.
