Materials Data on Sn3S7 by Materials Project
Sn3S7 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cc space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two Sn3S7 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. there are six inequivalent Sn2+ sites. In the first Sn2+ site, Sn2+ is bonded to five S+0.86- atoms to form edge-sharing SnS5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Sn–S bond distances ranging from 2.45–2.66 Å. In the second Sn2+ site, Sn2+ is bonded to five S+0.86- atoms to form edge-sharing SnS5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Sn–S bond distances ranging from 2.44–2.63 Å. In the third Sn2+ site, Sn2+ is bonded to five S+0.86- atoms to form edge-sharing SnS5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Sn–S bond distances ranging from 2.45–2.65 Å. In the fourth Sn2+ site, Sn2+ is bonded to five S+0.86- atoms to form edge-sharing SnS5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Sn–S bond distances ranging from 2.44–2.64 Å. In the fifth Sn2+ site, Sn2+ is bonded to five S+0.86- atoms to form edge-sharing SnS5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Sn–S bond distances ranging from 2.44–2.64 Å. In the sixth Sn2+ site, Sn2+ is bonded to five S+0.86- atoms to form edge-sharing SnS5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Sn–S bond distances ranging from 2.44–2.67 Å.
