Materials Data on K2S5O16 by Materials Project
K2S5O16 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcn space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.78–3.17 Å. There are three inequivalent S6+ sites. In the first S6+ site, S6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form corner-sharing SO4 tetrahedra. There is two shorter (1.43 Å) and two longer (1.61 Å) S–O bond length. In the second S6+ site, S6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form corner-sharing SO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.43–1.72 Å. In the third S6+ site, S6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form distorted corner-sharing SO4 trigonal pyramids. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.44–1.92 Å. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two S6+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one K1+ and one S6+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent K1+ and one S6+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one K1+ and one S6+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent K1+ and one S6+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one K1+ and one S6+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two S6+ atoms. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one K1+ and one S6+ atom.
