Materials Data on In4GeS4 by Materials Project
Ge(InS)4 is Hittorf-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pa-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of eight germanium molecules and one InS framework. In the InS framework, there are two inequivalent In1+ sites. In the first In1+ site, In1+ is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three S2- atoms. There are a spread of In–S bond distances ranging from 2.52–2.57 Å. In the second In1+ site, In1+ is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent S2- atoms. All In–S bond lengths are 2.58 Å. There are two inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three In1+ atoms. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent In1+ atoms.
