Materials Data on Na2PdS2 by Materials Project
Na2PdS2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmc2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Na1+ sites. In the first Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to five S2- atoms to form distorted corner-sharing NaS5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Na–S bond distances ranging from 2.84–3.00 Å. In the second Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six S2- atoms. There are a spread of Na–S bond distances ranging from 2.96–3.30 Å. Pd2+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four S2- atoms. There are two shorter (2.38 Å) and two longer (2.39 Å) Pd–S bond lengths. There are two inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to five Na1+ and two equivalent Pd2+ atoms. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to six Na1+ and two equivalent Pd2+ atoms.
