Materials Data on NaPrS2 by Materials Project
NaPrS2 is Caswellsilverite-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/amd space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Na1+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form NaS6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent PrS6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent NaS6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent NaS6 octahedra, and edges with eight equivalent PrS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–6°. There are four shorter (2.88 Å) and two longer (3.18 Å) Na–S bond lengths. Pr3+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form PrS6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent NaS6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent PrS6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent PrS6 octahedra, and edges with eight equivalent NaS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–6°. There are two shorter (2.86 Å) and four longer (2.88 Å) Pr–S bond lengths. There are three inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded to three equivalent Na1+ and three equivalent Pr3+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing SNa3Pr3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–6°. There are one shorter (2.86 Å) and two longer (2.88 Å) S–Pr bond lengths. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded to three equivalent Na1+ and three equivalent Pr3+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing SNa3Pr3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–6°. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded to three equivalent Na1+ and three equivalent Pr3+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing SNa3Pr3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–6°.
