Materials Data on Li2BiS2 by Materials Project
Li2BiS2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnnm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded to four equivalent S2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing LiS4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Li–S bond distances ranging from 2.37–2.50 Å. Bi2+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent S2- atoms. All Bi–S bond lengths are 2.84 Å. S2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Li1+ and two equivalent Bi2+ atoms.
